Knoty Boys are great for us that have "to big a middle" to bend over as we can make our shoes slip on's too. I have a lot of diabetic customers that use the colorful elastic laces. They can leave extra lace between eyelets so when their feet swell they are not stressing the lace and cutting circulation on the top of their foot.
