    • punch Type 1 in the junk, again

      I used to use Yankz and they worked great for me.  They were pretty easy to put on the first time and after that, you just slip your foot in.

        I love these:

        I've tried a few other brands and types but have found I really like the fuel belts.

          So no heel slip?  That's what I'm most concerned about...I have to lace lock the laces on all of my shoes, due to narrow heels.

             Another vote for Yankz. I use the extra eyelet at the top to help with prevent heel slip - both with Yankz and regular laces.

              I have not noticed any heel slip with the Fuel belts.

                Cool...I do remember that they were very long.  We had them on a pair of DS's shoes a few years back.
