Fast-tie, elastic shoelaces

One day while being frustrated trying to install Speed Laces on a pair of sneakers with tiny fabric eyelets instead of larger, metal-rimmed holes, I searched around and found Yankz. With Yankz, you're simply lacing them through like you would a normal pair of laces and then locking them in place. Putting them on a new pair of shoes takes only a few minutes.

I'm on my fourth pair, makes the transition station at TRI's easier and quicker. It's worth noting that the elastic does not hold forever. When my running shoes were worn out and I removed the laces, I noticed my first pair of laces looked over-stretched, much like the elastic waistline of an old bathing suit. Point being, much like a pair of shoes, the laces don't last forever.

$7.50 for solid colors, $8 for reflective. Worth it.
