Tyless Shoelaces
Tyless(TM) laces can benefit persons with disabilities and chronic health conditions who are active and desire independence. The laces remain at a constant tension during varied activities, and expand as feet swell. Shoes can slip on and off easily, without the need to untie and re-tie.
