#1 3rd Party Lace 4 Revolutionary Spring Soled Shoe: Conforms Lace-Up Footwear 2 Normal & Sensitive Feet
Denver, CO - Knoty Boy (http://www.knotyboy.com) introduces Asymmetiric laces - an elastic shoelace that allows lace shoes to become slip-ons yet maintain even tension throughout the entire foot. The high tech elastic laces are the number one third party accessory sold by Z-CoiL dealers nationwide.
Z-Coil Footwear Dealer Feedback
The Knoty Boy shoelaces are an innovative approach to solving several issues facing those of us wearing lace shoes.
* You have a large selection of great colors to dress up a new or old lace shoe - some of my younger customers even do dual colors tying them both on top and "inside" on the same shoe.
* The asymmetric benefits of this shoelace can be an adjunct for fitting shoes on different foot types - especially those with a rolling arch, a flatfoot, or a pronator. By using extra tension while tying on one side of the shoe, you can get added correction by offsetting the tension on the other side.

I personally use the Knoty Boys in my athletic shoes, and I like them for running and hiking as they take the pressure of the instep. Our older customers like them when they have trouble tying shoes, and some younger people like them when they prefer a slip-on shoe but tie is best for other reasons.

I agree with all these and they are great for us that have "to big a middle" to bend over.
I have a lot of diabetics that use the laces as they can leave extra lace between eyelets so when their feet swell they are not stressing the lace and cutting circulation on the top of their foot.

Many people that come into the store have a back issue, and bending down for a long period of time is painful, so the Knoty Boys work very well in those situations. Another situation where they are invaluable is when the person has severe arthritis of the hands and can't tie their shoes. We have others that have severe swelling in their feet as the day goes on and with Knoty Boys, they do not have to loosen their shoes several times during the day. Then of course, there are the lazy people like me that just like the convenience!

My customers love them for many reasons but the main reason is the ease that they can put on their (lace-up) shoe and the comfort the lace affordsI am also told how they love how secure their shoe feels without being tight.
There was an article in a newspaper that I read about how the younger generation are causing themselves many foot problems because they leave their shoelaces untied or very loosely tied so they can slip their shoes on and off. Many of my customers also buy laces for their children to alleviate this problem not to mention that the Knoty boy is so much safer for an active child. Cannot get caught in the bicycle, will not come loose while they are climbing, skateboarding or playing games such as football, baseball, soccer or tennis.
