Master 1467 Small Town | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces I bought LaceLocks last year and have been sold on them ever since. I like tightening them from the top (Yanks are from the toe). Multiple color options for LL, I'm not sure about EL. Look on eBay for some good deals too. |

Extreme Veteran 335 Medway, MA | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces maria40nc - 2009-08-11 1:10 PM I just came from my chiropractor who is a triathlete (and got me started in this). He pointed me to a store that carries Fuel Belt brand elastic laces with locks. I bought the Fuel Belt elastic laces at vendor booth recently... they were too small, by a long shot. I'm size 13 1/2, mens. |

Pro 5892 , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces I use elastic laces, both because they're fast in transition, but also because they will allow for a tight fit, yet still not pressure points in the shoes. You really appreciate that in 1/2 mary or further.... |

Master 1222 Lafayette, IN | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces I use Yankz. I never adjust them. I just slip them on and go. They actually feel better to me than standard laces. |

Pro 4824 Houston | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces I love Lock laces and never have to adjust mine either - perfect all the time and super easy. I got my husband a pair the other day and he loves them too. |

Master 1485 | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces Lock Laces are much better than Yankz (IMO). Once set they will both do the job but I think the Yankz are way over-engineered. Lock Laces are simple, straight forward, and work great! |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces I can't remember which brand has the plastic grommets that screw into the eyelets but they seem to work a lot better than without. With the grommets the elastic tension gets spread evenly and they seem to slip on and off more easily. |

Expert 1118 , North Carolina | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces Well.. I think what I'm getting out of this thread is that it's really just personal preference. Tomorrow is run day, so I'll try out the elastic laces with the locks and see how they feel. I'm pretty curious about those Yankz though. Our bicycle shop carries them, but they were out when I looked. |

Master 1790 Tyler, TX | Subject: RE: Lace Locks or Elastic Laces I've used two different kinds and have no preference. The both worked fine. I've been using Yankzs recently since I got a bunch on a great closeout sale and they came in lots of colors (my wife and daughter have already taken all the good colors so I'm left with black....).
