Product Information

Also, with normal laces, when you run your feet will be maintained in the shoe, while with elastic laces there is a small forward motion that can appear. Let me explain: the forward acceleration you create when running will add a force onto the top of the shoe.

A surgeons knot is simple and versatile, and it can stop your heel from slipping. Window lacing helps to alleviate pressure points on the top of your foot, and toe-relief lacing does exactly that. If your toes hurt on your hike then this can help relieve pressure on the toe box. Material: look for breathable and lightweight materials. If your feet tend to get on the sweatier side, look for slip-ons with an upper section made from mesh or knits, which are well ventilated and keep your feet cool and dry. Polyester walking boot laces are great for anyone, from occasional walkers to active hikers as they're water repellent and durable, while still being lightweight so you can lace up for your next adventure. HOW TO TIE HIKING BOOT LACES

Elastic laces can be used all year long for running. No scientific studies determine whether it is good or bad to do so. Elastic laces tend to add extra bouncing movement when running which can lead to instability when running. It is commonly thought that it could lead to injuries. Running shoe manufacturers sell their shoes with normal laces, and even though elastic laces exist and have been used by triathletes for years, it has not become the norm to use elastic laces. Some reasons are: It is very subtle, some people notice it, and others don’t. The issue with this extra movement is that it gives a little extra space for your feet to move inside the shoe. It can lead to extra rubbing (and getting blisters) and generate some kind of instability.

Support: the level of support depends on the type of exercise you're doing, but regardless of whether you're walking or running, look for high-quality cushioning, like Nike React or Nike ZoomX foam.

However, some people do not recommend elastic laces because the feet are not tightened in the same manner as regular shoes. While some people don’t have any problem with that, others feel like they lose stability. But that could simply be due to different running forms. This is why elastic laces are generally considered not ideal for running all year long. If you only run short distances and not very often, you probably won’t notice the difference. But generally, runners tend to train several times a week and regularly run long distances. This is when elastic laces are not the best idea.
