In this video, we're going to walk you through how to install your Lock Laces®, step by step.
Before you start, you'll need:
- 1 pair of shoes, with the laces removed
- 1 pair of scissors (any kind will do)
- and, of course, 1 pair of Lock Laces
Open the package using the zip lock on top. Inside, you should find:
- 2 elastic laces
- 2 double-eyelet lock devices
- and 2 cord clips, or "end pieces"
We're going to go over installation for one shoe. Simply repeat this process for the second shoe.
Start by putting your foot in the shoe. This helps to ensure that your Lock Laces® fit properly.
Once your foot is in the shoe, go ahead and start lacing up with the elastic laces. The laces will fit through nearly any type of eyelet that your shoe may have.
After you've laced up, give the laces a quick adjustment to make sure they're comfortable.
Next, press down on the button on top of the lock device to open the passages, and thread the laces through the openings. Then, slide the lock device to the tongue of the shoe.
Time for another adjustment. Wiggle your foot around in the shoe or stand up and walk around to make sure they're not too tight.
When your laces are comfortable, pull the excess lace taut with one hand and grab the scissors with the other hand. Cut the excess lace approximately 3 inches below the lock device to leave room for future adjustments.
Next, grab one cord clip. Slide the cord clip onto the trimmed lace ends with the teeth facing the toe of the shoe. Align the trimmed lace ends with the teeth inside the cord clip and clamp together to secure.
At this point, some people prefer to tuck the excess lace like so, but this step is entirely optional.
Just like that, your Lock Laces® are properly installed and guaranteed for the life of your shoe.

Comments
Wu NotWong: Received my 1st Lock Laces today. Installed and loving them. So much simpler than having to tie/untie the laces every time. Recommended 100%
9freelandk: Really good product, worked wonders on my sketchers as the laces kept coming loose no matter how I done them. Thank you.
Dale McKinzie: I work as a mailman walking many miles every day so I hope this works for me. Excellent video.
Christopher Klein: I agree, the ends need to be lightly melted with a lighter before the end clamps go on. Installed these on 2 pairs of shoes last night and they look great.
Mary Louise English: Thanks very much for this short & helpful video. Even though installation is "simple," I had a few questions before I found this.
Dan The Man: Just received mine, very happy with the fit and look. Awesome product!
Deputy276: Another suggestion. For older folks or folks with weak fingers...have a pair of pliers handy. They make crimping that clip on the ends of the laces MUCH easier. Especially on boot laces.
kade6767: After I watched this I installed my Lock Laces and I love them. I’m now going to buy some more pairs for other shoes I have.
Holly Jaye: FINALLY! this is what I need! thanks for a great and short video! I hope the lifetime guarantee is real as my Skechers are 20+ yrs old and I only need new laces because the ones that came in the shoes broke...after 20 yrs.
da man: Awesome video that was very helpful thank you very much it's greatly appreciated.
wnygrl585: This is a well made instructional video. The lock and laces came with no instructions I was getting frustrated and ready to toss them. After viewing the video I am now a happy camper.
Hermes: When testing fit by 1) feet in shoes, 2) standing and/or 3) walking, you missed a #4... Test getting in and out of shoes before set length of ties. What happened in my case is I didn't like the floppy length so erred on the short side, *not knowing* that when you enter and exit the shoes you need about double the size opening and therefore double the length of ties. Be forewarned! The instruction of 'three inches' is not an accident!
Anthony A: It's 100% ideal to install while the shoe is on your foot. Shoes never came off end while in an accident flying in the air and all coasters lol. Also the string shouldn't be dangling out that far. I have mine nearly flush and it works great because of the bungee style you can actually come out of your shoe w/o loosening anything.
Zenwoman: Thank you for the video! Mission accomplished thanks to you!
My Google-Account: Wow! My snow boots are crying out for these. Great boots but laces constantly become untied. I'll be ordering a few of these things. Thank you.
Paul Johnson: My son is a special needs person, has always had velcro fastened shoes until now. We are hoping these work for him and open up all shoes for him to wear. great video explanation of how to install these laces.
Tricia Ann: Good instruction, thank you
George Gretser: One suggestion: singe the loose ends after cutting (with a lighter) before inserting in the end piece
dessertaz: Good product just installed a pair on my mountain bike shoes!
Paul Carlson: Thank you,even if you think something is easy I have found it is nice to watch what others have done or recommend, thank you I would of screwed it up,haha
John Radi: Dumb question: How do you keep the tongue of the shoe from folding in when you put your shoes on?
Dirk Wickert: Gut erklärt
Voltzy70: I dont use the locks or clips, keep it simple and tie them like regular laces and they still slip on and off very easy.
MëøW Gang: The bits that clip together at the very ends got stuck, I cant unclip them, advice?
Amol Kadam: Will they work for flat eyelet, too??
Walter Ritchey: Can you just throw away the quick lace system and put in regular boot laces?
Krishna Anupam: How to open the cord lock when i want to change to a new shoe??
Tobias Mathes: I am cutting them shorter, takes some experience, though.
Marcia V: I got my lock laces today in the mail I put them on one pair of shoes I love them are you supposed to loosen up the top when you take the shoes off or do you leave them tight that was a question I had I'm hoping you can answer me Thank you so much Marcia Vaivoda
K Sdizz: Yes!!!! Love these!
Letanya Baucom: I just bought one I got it all in but the hard part is to press down on the block they should have made a lot more easier too close and open that's the only part I am having a hard time with they should make it much easier to open and close
Lori Aldrich: HOW DO YOU OPEN THE CORD CLIP ONCE LOCKED DOWN !?
Wayne Flemmer: Kind of weird at first but they are really good.
Paula Cadorin: Anyone know how to open the cord clip once it's been closed...seems impossible to re-open it for adjustment.
Alexander: Can I just tie them? I want to use them on a shoe that doesnt suit the lock look.
Love Faith Hope: Thank you.
James: So how do you take your shoes off when you are done wearing them?
Steve Distad: My wife bought me a pair these laces. I saw several complaints about the clips. Do we really need the clips?
Irwin Rosenthal: i AM SEVENTY SEVEN AND HAD NO HELP SO I installed the laces without my feet in the shoes. difficult and the result was just ok. I like the idea in comments of burning the tips before installation. Perhaps, insist that elderly people get someone to help install.
Dan M: I don't have mine yet but can't I use my own laces?
Legit Toast115: Going to get these for my new HUK brand shoes
karin elliott: I lost the clip already can I order more clips?
Pensive Boogie: I’m seventy four years of age and cannot do up shoelaces because of the strain the task puts on my back. I purchased Locklaces thinking it would be my solution, however, adjusting the laces myself with the shoulder on is impossible. Nevertheless I will try them and keep my options open
Advita Dorge: Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
selketskiss56: So funny as these remind me of kids bow biters from the 1980's.90's
Jack Stang: Wow
60zeller: One pair of shoes unlaced? Hey! Slow down, this is getting to technical. I need to call in professional help MOMMMM!
David Midgarden: Can’t figure out the last step. No need to cut, as the length is perfect. But can’t get the clip to close.
Martin Bortnick: The clips are poorly designed and do not open after closing.
Jessy D. King: 3 inches = 7.5 cm
A.I.: I would not recommend these they do not stay tight and brome after one day
karin elliott: Lost a clip already. Can you send me new clips?
Dan Collins: Very disappointed. Ordered two pairs and pair #1 only had one lock clip, while the locking mechanism in one of the lock clips in pair #2 was broken. I had to mend up both laces with black duct tape.
Peter Hume: Despite keeping the instructions at an enormously simple level ("do the following with one shoe, then repeat for the second", etc.) you have forgotten to tell us exactly what is the point of this device ...................
Cassius Felix: What do these even do good your laces in place that's it
I have towels: I don't get it so I'll be sending these back
