I have replaced every pair of laces on all my shoes
By TIM EAVES on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
These work on all the SHOES I have used them on. I need to alter the pattern of installation on different shoes, but I do not have any shoes that these do not work on. I have tried some other designs of this type of product, but Hickies are the best I have found to replace laces. All my shoes slip on and off and fit well for normal use (I would not use them on running shoes, if I still was into running). They do not last forever but replacing an odd tie or two occasionally will not discourage me from using these in the future. I do have a few pairs of boots, a 6 inch pair and an 8 inch pair, that have laces, and they will continue to use laces. The key to the boots for me is that they are side-zip. Once the laces are adjusted properly, the laces never need to be touched. The side zippers on the boots make getting them on and off very easy. I fitted the 6 inch pair with Hickies once, but the effort to put them on with or without using the side zip feature was not a noticeable benefit over the laces. I actually prefer the fit of the boots with laces in place of the flexible Hickies. That said, the first thing I do with new shoes is take off the laces and install Hickies. Again, these are the best.

Alright if you aren't picky

These can make your shoes into slip-ons, but the fit and feel customization isn't there. You install them and get what you get. If it is too tight or too loose you can try one of the other lacing methods and if that doesn't work you just have to live with it.
