FAQs
How long are the Lock Laces for Boots?
The Lock Laces for Boots are 72 inches (approximately 183 cm) long, designed to fit a wide range of lace-up boots.
Can I use these on regular shoes?
While designed for boots, they can be used on shoes if the 72" length is appropriate for the shoe's eyelet configuration. However, they are optimized for the higher eyelet count and typical fit of boots.
How do I clean the Lock Laces?
You can clean the laces and lock devices by wiping them with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
What is included in a package?
Each package contains 2 elastic laces (72" each), 2 lock devices, and 2 cord clips, sufficient for one pair of boots.
Will these laces work with all types of boots?
Yes, they are designed to fit all lace-up boots, from low-cut hiking boots to military boots, due to their adjustable nature and sufficient length.
Do I need to cut the laces to fit?
You may need to trim excess lace length after setting your desired tension and securing the lock, especially if your boots have fewer eyelets. The system is designed to be adjustable.
Are these laces suitable for activities like running?
While they provide a secure fit, they are specifically marketed and designed for the needs of boot wearers. For running, specific running shoelaces might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the tension by sliding the lock device up or down the laces. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly through the lock before securing. For a looser fit, release tension on the lock.
Lock device slipping or not holding tension
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the lock device and that the lock is fully engaged. Check for any debris or wear on the lock mechanism or laces. If wear is significant, consider replacing the lock device or laces.
Excess lace length is cumbersome
Trim the excess lace length after setting the tension and securing the lock. Use the provided cord clips to neatly tuck away the remaining lace ends, typically near the top eyelets.
Difficulty inserting laces into eyelets
Slightly twist the elastic lace while threading it through tight eyelets. Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Thread the 72" elastic laces through the eyelets of your boots, starting from the bottom.
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly on both sides.
Once all eyelets are laced, slide the lock device onto both laces.
Pull the laces through the lock device to achieve your desired tension.
Trim any excess lace length beyond the lock device, leaving a small tail.
Attach the cord clips to the remaining lace ends and secure them, often near the top eyelets or tucked away.
Compatibility:
Compatible with virtually all lace-up boots, including hiking boots, work boots, tactical boots, and casual boots.
The 72" length is ideal for most standard boot heights with 5-8 pairs of eyelets.
Care:
Wipe the laces and lock devices with a damp cloth as needed.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the elastic material.
