"This is the 3rd pair of shoes that we've installed the uLaces. They're GREAT!"  - David Z.

  • Quickly transform lace-up sneakers into hassle-free slip-ons.
  • Nothing to ever tie, un-tie or re-tie.
  • Super-simple 3-min push-pull installation.
  • Truly-woven material for authenticlook and durability.
  • Modular design allows for multi-color lace-ups

Each pack of uLaces Slims contains:  

- 7 uLace Slims no-tie lace segments. 

- 1 Photographic instruction sheet.

Note:

uLace Slims are sold as Mix-n-Match packs, so two (2) packs are generally needed to lace a pair of sneakers.

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 fairly standard eyelet-spans across allsneaker 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 every lace is a different length have got it all wrong and theysimply 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.

Untying, and Re-tying

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. Just think about all the things you could do with a extra 4-weeks of time. Getting it back is as simple as saying so long to antiquated standard shoelaces and relacing with uLace.

Rise above shelace hassle

We’ve all been there; a bag of groceries in each arm when someone yell’s out “hey, your shoelacen is untied.” Uggh.

Or your running thru the airport trying to make your connection and your laces come untied creating a tripping hazzard. Dang it!

Say so-long to constantly tying and re-tying standard shoelaces, so-long to laces that come untied at the most inconvenient times.

Say hello to uLace and hello to slip on & go.

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.

Love ULace! I like a snug fit without all the fancy lacing so I go for shorts or slims on my wide foot sneakers. They also do absolutely amazing in the heel lock eyelet. They never pop out like other brands and rarely ever break unlike other brands.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Baby Blue

I ordered these shoelaces to give a bit of a mixed color appearance to my Vans, and they certainly do the job! I really love the look of the straps being actual fabric rather than silicone. I'm certainly planning on buying these for my next pair of shoes.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Black

Not just good for sneakers!!

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Graydient

The slims are so much easier on my hand. The regular one's take so long to get them secured through the eyelet.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Rainbow

These work perfect for my Splays! These shoes came with ridiculously long laces, so I replaced them with U-Laces. They did stick out the very top and poke me a little because the top row of eyelets is so high... However, after the photo, I removed the laces from the top row and they still work fine! Highly recommend!

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Graydient

Like not having the ties hanging down!

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Graydient

combined the black and graydient and i'm so glad i got them. saves me so much time/hassle and i don't have to worry about my shoes ending up too loose/tight and becoming a sensory nightmare. so grateful 🙏

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Canvas / Off-White

I really enjoy being able to slip into my shoes now with such ease! Thank you

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Bright Orange

Easy on and off.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - White

Absolutely in love with these laces! They give me the look I want and super easy to install. Will buy again

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Black

The ends of the laces are kind of pokey. If the shoes weren't a little too big, I don't think I could keep them. I love the functionality; that I can just slip my shoes on. Also really like the way they look.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Black

My daughter is visually impaired, and shoe ties are hard for her. Ulace helped her out alot she can just slide her sneakers on without the hassle of the shoe ties.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Medium Grey

I have bought several packs & like them very much. However these clearly say 7 pack but there are only 6 laces. I need 7 for each shoe so I am short 2.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Canvas / Off-White

I love how easy these make my shoes to get them on and off. I was sent the wrong color by accident and by just sending a simple email the company immediately sent me out the correct color and didn’t ask me to return the one that wasn’t right. This was wonderful customer service.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Scarlet Red

Makes my sambas look great!

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - White

LOVE these so much! I have sensory problems and shoe laces just are a nightmare sometimes. I have been looking for a product like this but nothing else compares. Other laces are elastic but you have to tie them or they are long and have to be tucked in and then you step on them inside your shoe and it's awful. These are so easy, no excess, and let any shoe become an easy accessible shoe. This is perfect for anyone who doesn't like tying shoes, has arthritis, a disability that makes it difficult to tie and untie all the time, kids, or people who for one reason or another need velcro shoes because laces just aren't feasible for them. I cannot recommend this product enough. I have them on all of my shoes now.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Canvas / Off-White

Really appreciate Tim and U-Lace helping me get the right fit - I ended up with U-Lace Shorts as the best fit. Needed a short lace/tight fit to keep heel from slipping. Very cool invention and looks great too.

Customer photo review of uLace Slims - Bright Purple

I was always re-tying my shoes during brisk walks. As I get older, bending over to tye my shoes has become more challenging. uLace has solved that problem. And I love being able to use laces the colors of my city’s sports teams.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Black

Believe it or not, my most complimented shoes (and I have lots of sneakers) are this pair of glitter gold Keds with ULace black. Slim seems to fit 4-hole Keds well.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Light Navy

I am so happy I stumbled across these. I have tried other types of laces and nothing compares to these laces. I called the company to ask some questions and not only were they nice and friendly but they were very helpful. I bought 6 pairs and will definitely be buying more. I highly recommend these laces to everyone. Thank you U-Lace

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Canvas

I enjoy the laces. Very easy to use them and I love the ease of taking my shoe off and putting them back on. Thank you

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - White

I seen these on social media and purchased them for my wife. She Loves them! In fact I plan on getting some for the whole family. Highly recommend.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Cotton Candy

I love my new laces!! They were easy to put in and look great on my colorful tennis shoes!

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Graydient

The ends are a little pokey at the top of the show but overall I love them. Already ordered 3 more pair.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Rainbow

The neuropathy in my feet means I am only comfortable in sneakers, however the neuropathy in my hands makes it difficult to tie my shoes some days. These laces make my daily life so much easier! And I love the rainbow/Pride colors to cheer things up.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - White

I was so excited to stumble upon this product after struggling for months with the laces that originally came with this pair of shoes (thick, round, and hard to pull on). I was eager to buy when I saw a review on this website from someone who owned this exact pair of shoes and had replaced the original laces with U-laces! I bought the white Slims and put them on my shoes as soon as they came in the mail. I’ll say they aren’t 100% comfortable but that might partially be just a flaw in how the shoes were designed. Putting the U-laces on was super easy, but they can be felt through my socks and I definitely can’t wear no-show socks or it irritates my foot. I’ll definitely be playing around with removing the top U-lace and changing up the pattern instead of having them sit straight across, perhaps that will help with comfort. Still, great find and I’m more satisfied with these than I was with the original laces.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - White

Perfect for my daughter. She's visually impaired so this way is easy for her

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Black

Great customer service, fast delivery. I couldn’t be happier to not tie my shoes.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Sky Blue

They make my classic Wallabies have a pop of color which I consistently get complemented on.

My fiancé never has to waste time with her running shoes when the urge to get in a quick jog occurs.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

Made a snow proof sneaker something that doesn’t require 2 minutes to adjust for ice or slippery terrain.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

Makes my favorite shoes POP. Ease of slip-on design has only amplified my love of them.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims - Dark Grey

These are awesome! I have narrow feet and it's hard for me to get shoes tied tight enough. With U-Laces I can thread them in a variety of ways to get them as tight as I want. I'm ordering more!!

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

I absolutely love these! As a busy mom these are a lifesaver I can slip my shoes on instead of having to tie laces which at this point any time saved is amazing! Just make sure to put them in the right way I did it wrong first but once I did it right they are perfect you can’t feel them! I will be ordering more for sure excited to be able to buy them for my son for his shoes too! I love all the color choices to go with different shoe styles too😍

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

Absolutely love them! Being a Busy mom it’s nice to be able to slip on shoes quickly. I did put them on wrong at first and you feel them but once I did it right you can’t feel it very comfortable and easy will be ordering more soon. Love them so much😍

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

I love the color but I was so bummed, one of the packages was 1 short 😕

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

Just a touch of color.

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims

I love these laces , I have had them in my other shoes for about 7 years now and it was finally time to get another pair for my new shoes and when I buy some more shoes then I am buying some more of the laces to go in them best thing ever invented for shoes

Customer photo review of U-Lace Slims
