These are the greatest invention ever! I have purchase a few after trying these out for the first time a few months ago. I always had issues with my 9 year old taking forever to get her shoes on in the morning for school. I got this item hoping it would help speed up our morning process and they work great! They were hard to put through the tiny little holes on her shoes at first until I used some small pliers to reach through the hole on the shoe to grab them and then they were super easy to install. So definitely use a tool of some sort to make it easier to threat these through the holes. Once they are in I've washed the shoes with them in a few times and they didnt' fall out. They stretch and allow her to slide her shoes right on without having to deal with tieing laces. These are also great for my child with autism that I've never been able to buy regular shoes for because she cannot tie her shoes. It is very difficult to find shoes for an adult disabled person to wear that do not have laces that tie. These fix that problem as well and have opened up a whole new world of shoes I can buy for my 17 year old with autism as well. Fantastic product at a great price! #RankBoosterReview #sponsored #Coolnice
