Easy Tie Shoe Laces – Learn to Tie Fast & Easy - Dual Colored, Learning Shoelaces – Waxed for a Secure Tie

If you are teaching someone how to tie their own shoes or using these in Occupational Therapy to support the development of fine motor skills, these are AWESOME! There was enough excess lace to support larger sized fingers to wrap and tie the laces without losing grip. Smaller (in inches) sized laces can produce smaller bows and that can be frustrating for someone new to shoe tying. These were tremendously helpful in my household!!!

Instead of pedagogical reasons, I buy these for the look. The color scheme of two colors interweaving appeals to me. However, the aglets are NOT durable. In one of the pairs I bought, fraying happened on the very first hole. I don't plan on removing them and using them on another pair of shoes, so it won't be a huge problem.

My son has special needs and we have been trying for years to teach him to tie his shoes. These are a game changer!!!

My 12 year old son has a condition called dyspraxia or also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder. Things like writing, drawing, buttoning, zippers and tying shoes are extremely difficult for him. He sees an Occupational Therapist to help him with the speed and accuracy of his writing, but they weren't working much on his shoe tying. So, I initially got a really cool wooden shoe by Melissa and Doug (sold here on Amazon) and we worked on it briefly everyday, as not to frustrate him. 3-5 minutes. In about a week he mastered that shoe. But then came the task of tying his own shoes while they were on his feet! He figured out if he lifted his food on a stool, he had better luck. I decided to give these shoelaces a try, because that seemed to be his issue, the complexity of the shoelaces on his actual shoes. We've had the laces on his shoes (and I got them to match his shoes, so they don't look "babyish") for about a week and he's had a 100% success rate in tying them by himself. After years of trying so many different things, finally FINALLY he can tie his shoes! I really recommend these to parents of kids of all ages, whether they have a fine motor condition or not.

My son learned how to tie his shoes in 30 minutes! It’s easy to teach kids using these because they don’t get overwhelmed with which side is which. Brilliant idea!

My child was able to tie using dual colored laces in a how-to-tie book but just could not transfer the skill to shoes. Putting these in his shoes fixed the trouble and I think after he gains the muscle memory he’ll be able to switch back to regular laces. These are also just a bit rigid so the bunny ears stand up rather than flop over in a confusing mess, which is also helpful to the learner

I got these hoping they would help my 6 year old learn to tie his shoes. I like the fact that each lace is a different color. I think that is helpful to a child learning to tie. I had hoped that the laces would be less slippery (for a child learning to tie, when the laces don't "stick" or stay together when you make your knot, it makes it more difficult to tie the shoe tightly enough to stay tied.) So these laces slid more than I thought they would based on other reviews. Also, for anyone else in this situation, I purchased the smaller laces (because my son only wears a child's 13.) I wish I had purchased the larger set, because he runs out of lace when making his loops and by the time he pulls to tighten, one of the loops is all the way thru (so if I had longer laces for him, I think it would make that part easier.) All in all not a bad lace, and the 2 color is nice, but it's not as great or helpful as I had expected, especially for the price.

My son struggled to tie his shoes without help (short laces, couldn't grip, etc). These laces were PERFECT. The two colors helped him visual and see the tying easier. The laces are thicker and have more grip so he could easily tie without losing the lace. I would recommend this to anyone learning to tie their shoes. Once we got the laces in, he was able to tie them in like 10 minutes
