"So good for my kindergartener! I had tried some other plastic/silicone type no-tie laces and they were no good. These are much better and easier. I will be a return customer.”  -  Cinnamon L.

1- WHAT ARE ULACE NO TIE LACES?

uLaces are elasticized no-tie laces that quickly and easily transform lace up sneakers and and other flat-bottom footwear into easy on-easy/easy off slip-ons that never need to be tied.

2-WHAT ARE ULACE MADE OF?

uLaces are made from truly-woven, yarn dyed polyester and our specially extruded lycra filament, which yields the uLace Laced-Feel effect.

3- ARE ULACES EASY TO INSTALL?

Based on direct consumer feedback, one of the key benefits of uLaces is the ease of installation. The aglets on uLaces will look very familiar and easily insert through standard sneaker eyelets.

4- IS ULACE SATISFACTION GUARANTEED?

From day one uLaces have always shipped with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied we will take them back and refund your purchase. The good news for everyone is that 97% of uLace customers continue to buy uLaces again and again. So chances are you’ll love them too.

5- WILL ULACES WORK ON ANY SNEAKER?

uLaces currently come in one style - modular - and 4 sizes: Classic, Kiddos, Slims, & Shorts. This style of uLaces will only work with sneakers that have eyelets, and will not work on sneakers with loops or hooks.

In January 2024 uLace will launch its much anticipated new ProFormance laces which were designed specifically for use on performance footwear.

This style of uLaces will work with, eyelets, loops and hooks or any combination of the three.

6- WHY ARE THERE 4 SIZES OF MODULAR ULACES?

In our efforts to create what is the worlds best - Shark Tank & Award Winning - no-tie shoelaces in the entire world, we first had to be become experts in sneaker design.

We've studied literally thousands of pairs of sneakers in an effort to really understand how they are made and particularly how they are strapped to the foot.

Before we go further we need to define a term we call 'eyelet-span’. Eyelet span is the distance between adjacent eyelets on a sneaker. This is an across the top of the foot measurement.

What we’ve found in the process of measuring thousands of pairs of sneakers is that there 3-4 prominent eyelet spans that are utilized by nearly every sneaker brand in the world.

The lengths of uLace Classic, Kiddos, Slims and Shorts were designed to match those eyelet spans.

This matters because most of the copycat products on the market are first of all: made from cheap nonflexible plastic or silicone that are impossible to install yet to easily break, but also sold as one-size-fits-all products which actually don't fit any sneakers well.

7- WHAT SIZE ULACES SHOULD I PICK?

The uLace product line currently includes 4 unique sizes - lengths - which are made to fit the designs of different sneakers.

The size of uLaces you need for your sneakers really depends on the way each pair of sneakers you wear is designed.

A man wearing a size 13 slim-fitting fashion sneaker may require the same uLace size as a woman wearing a size 6 classic-styled sneaker.

This is why we have a Find Your Fit helper built into the site. Click through to the Find Your Fit page to explore.

8- WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS OF ULACES VS. STANDARD LACES?

uLaces quickly, easily and affordably convert lace-up sneakers into easy-on/easy-off slip-ons that never need to be tied.

Once quickly installed uLaces make getting out of the door and on the go a snap. Just slip-on and go1
uLaces allow you to customize your sneaker’s look and lace design.

uLaces provide an additional layer of safety from tripping and falling over untied shoelaces.

While most of the copycat/knockoff brands of modular no-tie laces are one-size-fits-all  - which ultimately means fitting no one well, uLaces are uniquely sized to work with how sneakers are actually made.

After studying and taking measurements on literally thousands of pairs of sneakers we determined that the most important measurement in creating a modular no-tie lace for the masses was the distance between eyelets spanning across the top of a sneaker, i.e. the spacing of adjacent eyelets from one side of the sneaker/foot to the other.

This is what we call eyelet-span.

We found that there were 4 family standard eyelet spans across all Sneaker brands and also that the eyelet span on a sneaker stayed uniformly consistent from the eyelets nearest to the toe to the eyelets nearest the ankle.

Cheap plastic and silicone knock-offs that try to sell you laces where even laces is a different length have got it all wrong and they Simply do not work.

Now that you know what eyelet-span is and how important it Is you are now ready to use our size finder tool to find the uLaces you need to get an optimal fit for your sneakers.

Standard Shoelaces

TIME TO FACE THE FACTS

The Hassle of Standard Shoelaces

FACT 1: Standard shoelaces will always come untied. And it begins with the very first step you take after tying them.

FACT 2: An average person spends around 30 days of their lifetime tying, untying, and re-tying standard shoelaces. We'd argue that 75% of this time is spent during childhood - given all the time children spend fussing with antiquated standard laces and all the time they spend just running around and being a kid.

Our Story

I’m Tim Talley. I’ve always been a problem solver, and I’m a guy who loves culture and fashion, too.

The idea for a new way to lace sneakers came in 2008 while searching the world for new trends — I found inspiration in the colorful fashions of Harajuku, Japan. That was the beginning of the entire modular shoelace category.

Today, uLace is sold all around the world. I love knowing that it’s making life better for people of all ages. We hear from people every day that uLace makes their life more convenient, more colorful, more functional, and even a little bit more fun.

Too hard to pull these on if these hi-tops are laced all the way up. No problem, we just leave a few off the top.

I love the U-lace. Just slip on and go.

I purchased Kisik shoes to help me with putting them on but the were constantly coming untied!! Ulace fixed the problem ❤️❤️

They look great. Has a little trouble getting them in. I have arthritis. But all done and no tying. It's great. Thank you!

Cleans up the appearance.

My son has Autism and has trouble tying his shoes these have been a life saver!

My granddaughter just loves these shoelaces!

These are super fun on my black converse. No messing with ties and my shoe is always snug.

My 5 year old can get on her sneakers by herself 🙌 and they are now her favorite since they're rainbow. I want uLaces on all my kids' shoes!

It’s a time saver, my son is still not able to put the shoe on by himself but it takes us less time, he got this shoes as a gift and they were a hassle to put on that he will be choosing other shoes even tho he loves this ones. Now he gets to used every time he wants

Easier to install with pliers than with fingers, but the wearer of these shoes LOVES them!

It's helping my kid be independent in putting her boots on!

No tie all day, huge time saver for parents!

Putting on my toddlers sneakers was a nightmare before uLace. Love the product, I will recommend it to my friends and use it again.

Perfect accessory for my tall 20eye boots!

My daughter has dyslexia and is having difficulty learning how to tie her shoes (left vs. right/crisscrossing). We purchased these in hot pink to go with her purple and black NB tennis shoes, which worked perfectly. She doesn't have to worry about getting her shoes tied by a teacher or another student at school, giving her the independence she deserves. We have tried other brands and they did not last/break within the first few weeks. Getting the "fingernail" through the shoe hole can be a bit challenging if you have issues with hand strength. I recommend using needle nose pliers to help pull them through. Made of strong, quality material. We will definitely be purchasing these again when she wants to switch up the colors!

Love these little laces which made "big kid shoes" less daunting for my guy. He says these are Ninja Turtle shoes now. We will definitely be repurchasing. These are the kid's laces on Allbirds kid shoes.

Put the black kid size laces in my daughter's tap shoes to replace the elastic and laces that came with the shoes. These look so good and fit perfectly!

Love these laces for my child’s shoes! They allow for the cool look my child wanted without stuffing shoelaces down in the shoe. Easy on and off! Great product.

A lil bit of a process getting the laces in but i believe it’s because of my long nails and the sneaker of choice. Otherwise will definitely order again. No more needing to tie shoe laces. Lol

They came quickly and matched my sons shoes perfectly. My son hates to tie his shoes so these are perfect!

I'm so glad I found these laces! My daughter loves them! ❤️ Although she can tie her shoes she prefers the slide on style for P.E. at school. She went from refusing to wear her new shoes to loving them with her new laces. I love all the colors so we will be buying more forsure! Thank you 👟🙌🏼

My daughter absolutely adores her laces and charms! Will be ordering again! Thank you!

I wear a size 14 and can’t find vans slip one in my size. The laces are perfect for me to slip on my Vans with laces.

These are perfect for my 4 year old’s school shoes!!

My Grandson loves them !! Easy to put on. Fits perfectly.

My daughter undoes laces so these were perfect!

Got these to replace the bright blue u-laces I have in my Wallabies when I need to be more serious. Easily swapped out in a matter of minutes and changes the entire look of the shoe from business casual to office serious even in my gray Clark’s Wallabies which are essentially moccasin/chuckaboots. Thanks for having this option now.

Ordered and received witching 3 days super easy to put in and take off if u want to switch shoes! My kids love it ! Ty

This product is a godsend! My 9 yo had reserved to walking around with untied shoes because they just would NOT stay tied! These laces were a little tough to get in these particular shoes but they are amazing!!! We tried them straight across first but they slipped a bit so we crossed them and now they’re perfect! Telling every mom & dad I know about these!

Used 2 multicolor packs to customize my preschooler's shoes - she loves the colors and I love that now she can get them on by herself! A great alternative to Velcro straps in the transition to becoming a "big kid".

Saves us some time in the morning don't have to tie laces anymore!

These laces are perfect for my vibrant 5 year old . They allowed us to buy lace up shoes that she can wear while she learns to tie her shoes.this means she can wear them to school! The bold color choices really make this shoe so much better than the white laces they came with. Affordable and shopping was very fast! I highly recommend u-laces for the very young and anyone who loves to express theme selves through foot wear. The best part for us was the adjustability. My kiddo has narrow feet and even a high top can be an option now! Thanks u-lace!

absolutely love these, especially since my kid can’t tie his shoes yet haha but they were extremely hard to pull through the wholes!! all in all we love them thanks u lace candice

Perfect exactly what I wanted easy too

Perfect exactly what I wanted easy too love em

I Love these! I ordered the kids size for my son and I. My Vans have narrow eyelets that come up high on the ankle. Regular laces have to be tied and untied every time you wear the shoes. These are a much better option. Easy on and off plus they look great.

Super. Best invention ever! Our child is still learning to tie her shoelaces and so she could wear her sneakers safely to school and not trip on loose laces, we got her these. The color combination matched really well with her shoes. She loves them.

Perfect for a four year old! Better than Velcro

My kids love these!
