Does anyone else use "Yankz"?

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I was just wondering if anyone else used "Yankz" on their shoes. They're a set of bungie cord laces with an ingenious design to keep them snug all over the length of the laces. It was a little diamond in the rough that I found at my local Fleet Feet Sports and I wanted to share the love with all of the other WISHers here on the DIS. Here's a picture of what the laces look like to give you a better idea...

DB, I used these for awhile but my feet kept falling asleep. Never did get the adjustment right. I put them in my quick change after the gym shoes and leave them really loose and they are fine. My kids have them in their shoes and LOVE them. Who needs to tie????

I use them. Trick is to not put them in very tight in the first place, then you can tighten a little bit at a time as you need to.

They are also handy for going through airport security, in addition to blazing fast triathlon transition times!

I would never buy anything called "Yankz". Maybe if they were "Red Soxz".

I've got a differnt brand Bill. Can't think of it now, though. I'll look and let you know.

Yup, I love mine. I have such a hard tiem adjusting my laces, so this helps a lot. Very nice fro sirport security too!

What's even better is they are available in either Fluorescent Green or Lime Green...what we should do next is get some WISH ones made (with WISH on the buckles)

Wouldn't work for my running shoes since I have to loose lace the toe box however they'd be great for my airport shoes!

Not tried them before. I've got a different lace need, don't like mine tight across the top part of the foot at the arch, but need to pull in the heal so I'm not sure they will work for running. Maybe I'll try them for the other romping and airport needs.

would anyone be interested in getting a set of Lime Green laces with WiSH screened across the buckle?

FOr those teh don't want yankz:

I use Lock Laces. You tie them just like your regular shoe laces, so they are pretty versatile. I love mine.
