Subject: Help? Anyone remember these alternative to shoe laces?

Written By: anonymous on 02/20/10 at 6:48 pm

Hey does anyone know what the name of them were? Anyone have any pics? Thanks =] They were popular in the mid to late 90's and were like alternatives for shoe laces people who couldn't tie their shoes or just thought they were cool. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I remember seeing those in the 90's. I never owned any myself, but I knew at least one person who did. The concept was somewhat interesting though. :D

My youngone is autistic, has a hard time with laces, I have those in his sneakers, you can order them in all kinds of colors, so I use them myself.
