If you want to catch more mice, legend has it, you should build a better mousetrap. So, I guess it would stand to reason that if you were looking for way to avoid untied shoes, a new kind of shoelaces would be the solution. Enter "'Lastic Laces," colorful, springy, elastic shoelaces that need no tying.

Endorsed by the Arthritis Foundation, Special Olympics and Sports Illustrated, these elastic shoelaces are ideal for people who have difficulty tying their shoes, and a cool accessory for those of us who are just lazy, or like funky-looking shoelaces.

Using these unique shoelaces, essentially turns any laced shoe into a slip-on, as the coils keep the laces from slipping, allowing your shoes to stay snugly in place.

Offered in an array of colors, "'Lastic Laces" have been voted "Best New Product" by several publications, and three pair cost less than $10 (US) - discounts are available for large quantities. Vendor's Site - Buy "'Lastic Laces"
