A little ingenuity to save time and effort to connect shoes with sneakers "Lace Anchors 2.0"

While the shoes stretches may walk knotted, the knot may unravel, but it is troublesome to reconnect each time, and in the middle of a sport a strap may unravel to affect the game result. Items that save time and effort from tying stringers to straps so that such a thing will not happen "Lace Anchors 2.0"is. It is a simple product with two holes and one slot, but you can firmly fix the straps to the lining of the shoes, making it possible to wear strap shoes like a slippon.

You can see how you actually use Lace Anchors 2.0 from the following movies.


Lace Anchors is an item that removes the labor of joining strings from shoes stitches like this.


The size is 1.68 cm in length, 1.04 cm in width, 1.27 mm in thickness, mini size enough to pinch with your fingertips.


If you attach Lace Anchors to the holes through which shoe straps pass, it is possible to secure the straps firmly on the shoes without tying them.


Easy to use. First pass shoes straps through the holes. At this time, care must be taken so that the string does not come out of the shoes.


Put the straps through the hole in the middle of the Lace Anchors and firmly attach them to the lining of the shoes, then pass the straps through the holes above.


Then pass through the shoes folded back to the bottom slot and cut off the remaining straps with scissors.


Then, like this, the shoe straps are fixed firmly to the lining of the shoes.


Sneakers quickly changed to slippon style. There was no time to tie the straps, so it came to fit the foot of the person wearing the shoes.


The remaining shoes straps go to the garbage can.


Lace Anchors can choose any kind of shoes stickers, anything such as thin, thick, nylon or cotton can be used. In addition, although most types of shoes are satisfactory, it seems that sometimes it can not be used well at the top part of knitted boots.


It can withstand the weight of about 20 kg, and it is rare that it will be taken with a little momentum.


Since it can be installed in any hole, unlike the case of connecting shoes straps, you can enjoy various styles.


Even the same sneakers can be differentiated from others by shoes straps.


You may be able to create your own original way of knitting.


It can also be used for children's shoes, so even children who do not successfully connect strings will be able to wear sneakers without difficulty.


Although it seems to work well from the above picture, is there no inconvenience when actually using it? So, there are movies that took sports athletes using Lace Anchors. First off is rider Brendan Howey.
