ZUBITS Magnetic Lacing Solution, No Tie Easy Shoelace Magnets

I choose the most powerful version, as I need size 12 shoes. So far, they have never come undone unless I want them to. However, they are so strong, then on shoes where the closings are quite close, they will close themselves. This means I have to separate them before I can put the shoes on, which is annoying. On another pair of shoes the closings are further apart and this is not a problem (although on these, when the shoes are placed next to each other, the zubits from each shoe can join together). I find twisting the zubits a means of separating them by hand. A lot of money to find out they may be too strong. They are useful for taking on and off safety shoes at work. One thing I wish could be improved is the lace end locking. I found the plastic clips weak and unsightly. Still experimenting with options. So far durable. Worth a try

Edit 2020: Just to add, this review was first written by me about a year ago. I purchased the same in white and can’t recommend them enough. After lacing them into my new Shoes they will need adjusting after i have worn them in a bit more, but they hold just fine and keep the laces neat on the outside.You get 4 magnets (two per shoe) in the pack as well as some lace fasteners to stop the laces slipping.Review 2019:I recently purchased a pack of competitor lace system called Hickies.. they where crap and where far too long for shoes like sneakers or converseHowever the Zubits are MUCH better. After purchasing my first pair of converse high tops, i wanted these to help me get them on and off. They are super at keeping your laces tight and come apart as shown on the advertising videos perectly. I couldn't rate these more highly. I am a guy although it said womens magnetic shoe closures, I think they are perfect for my needs. Well worth the £20 paid, arrived in good time in protective packaging.

These have been a revelation to us! they were bought to help our son who has a disability and could tie his shoes. And being a teenager who still wants to wear the latest fashions in shoes etc... Most of which are lace up these Cubits have been great!They are very discreet too if thats what you need!We'll be ordering another set soon!

What zubits dont tell you if your trainer tounge is thick its a pain to join the magnets together.Had it been any other trainers i think it would be fine. I have tried this for about 30 minutes rigorously and it only came off once but i doubt i would do that in real life. I do like running so normal running wont affect it either.You see what i did to open when i did come off i sort of used the movement zubits reccomend while testing.Be warned not all the time the magnets come apart on the reccomended method of taking footware off. Be prepared to twist magnets to take off as they are very powerful.Just for your information the fake products out their i find some of them better as the magnet power is just right (not to powerful) and i am size 11 mens and they cost a lot less.

These really are amazing! Bought for my father following his stroke he only has the use of one hand. Now he can choose any pair of shoes he likes and never needs to worry about laces again. This product has liberated my Dad and given him the independence and equality he desperately wanted. Incredibly strong and brilliant!!

These zubits magnets are very strong and ideal solution for my boys shoes and runners. They can’t tie shoelaces due to their dyspraxia. So these magnets are perfect for them to close their shoes independently .

So I've been using these for a couple of weeks and I like them. I have a bit of a different configuration to what's suggested in the instructions which I think looks better!Would I pay another 22 pounds for a second pair? Unfortunately not, I'm waiting for the 3.99 version to come through to try, so watch this space.

Used to use Hickies for my trainers, but got fed up of them breaking.This however fits and works perfectly. And when my trainers are knackered, I'll simply remove them, give them a clean and fit to my new trainers.
