Product Review 24 - Xtenex Lacing System



Pros

Lock laces, shoe fit, into place and they are good to go. The laces do not slip.


Cons

They are difficult to get through the holes for lacing. If you don’t like the tightness or looseness of the laces once they are laced in the shoe, it is pain to get them out and reposition them so the shoe fits better. I have used other brands of “speed-laces”, and these are the most difficult to adjust once they are in place.


This is the third type of “speed lace” that I have used. I have had the kind that come with anchors that go into the lace openings. I have also had the “Yankz!” laces. These laces are probably the simplest laces, in terms of how they work. They were difficult to get through the lace openings in the shoe and once the shoes were laced they were difficult to get out and reposition. Once in position they stayed in position, were comfortable, and so far have not caused any issues. Not sure that I would purchase these laces again.
