Disappointed
See updates:
A little disappointed in these. I'm a womens size 8 in sneakers/tennis shoes. I put these on a pair of Nike air force ones that I wear for work as a cna. I'm on my feet all day and my shoes and laces tend to get torn up pretty quickly. These were a great addition, they looked nice and held my feet well enough to be able to run if needed.
My shoes have 6 holes in them and I was using all of the laces except the two smallest. The first 3 weeks of use my feet would get so hot that I had no choice but to take my shoes off on my breaks, they also hurt on the tops quite a bit. I ended up having to stop using the top hole and move all of my laces down one space to help with the over heating and the pain.
It helped a reasonable amount but didn't eliminate the problem. To add too it now my shoes were noticeably loose.
Well today, roughly one month after adding them the top lace and largest broke. It snapped while I was walking. Now the set is useless and I have to resort back to traditional laces. At least they weren't too expensive..
Update! So, the day I wrote this review INMAKER contacted me, stating that they felt like the problems I experienced were cause by the laces being the wrong size and offered to send me the next size up as a replacement. They arrived like three days later and I've had them in for a week now with no pain in my feet and no overheating! So ladies size 8 and up, if you don't like having your shoes tight I would suggest getting the largest version of these laces.
Update!
So it's been like 3 or 4 weeks since my last update and unfortunately last week one of my top laces snapped. Same scenario and foot as in the pictures. I didn't get around to adding that to my review until today when a second lace snapped on the same foot. I was walking and poof. It just happened.
So my conclusion is that I really wanted these to work but maybe they just can't keep up with the feet of a cna.
