Magic Shoelaces

Does anybody know where I can buy some shoelaces that you pull through and then they curl so that there is no need to tie. I need some for my DS as his shoes are constantly coming undone.

Thanks

I'd like to know this too. I am sick of ds2's laces - can't wait for him to grow out of his boots.

I've seen them in our local shoe repair/key making place.

i got some for my ds1 who is 10 and has autism so his fine motor skills are to pot,probably wont manage to ever tie his laces and can no longer get velcro fastenings in his size.I got them in a medical aid shop,omne which sold mobility scooters,cutlery etc for special/medical needs.Am also able to order them from my local chemist through a medical aids catalogue.

My dad has elastic laces as he has mobility probs and so can't reach his feet

They are like elastic and they are tied so they are like slip on shoes
