speed laces

No-tie shoe closures

Speed laces are lacing systems designed for quick tightening and release, typically using elastic cord with a toggle lock instead of traditional shoelaces that require tying.

Popular with runners and triathletes who need to slip shoes on and off rapidly: I switched to speed laces so I wouldn't waste time in transitions.
