FeetPeople Curly Laces are fun laces for everyone, young and old. These laces are about 6 inches long, but stretch to fit most shoes. If you have 8 pair of eyelets or less, these should work for your footwear. Once you get them laced into your shoes, then you're done--never tie your shoe again. The laces will expand when you take your shoes off or put them on because they are elastic. They are great for people with bad backs or for those who just don't want to tie their shoes any more. We hope you enjoy!
