Overall the Yankz! lacing system is a great product which will save you time and headaches over traditional laces. Yankz! is a high-quality product which will solve lacing problems. Initial lacing issues (i.e., telling yourself there is more than one way to tie your shoes) quickly disappear when your shoe tightens with one pull of the cord.

Are Yankz! right for you? At just $15.00, I recommend purchasing a pair; odds are you will enjoy a faster T2 and an end to shoelace headaches. If the Yankz! system doesn't work for you (you're the exception, not the rule), give them to your buddy; they will thank you for it. - Giancarlo

The people at Yankz! Sure Lace Systems are really on to something here. The system provides even distribution throughout your arch. The larger laces (while difficult to lace in some shoes) are the key to providing greater comfort throughout the entire arch. The lace is a bungy type of nylon cord that expands and contracts with the foot. The locking device gives you a piece of mind, in the way in which it secures itself, unlike other systems that I have had "slip" undone.

As an amputee, I cannot afford to have lace problems. I cannot feel if lace is coming undone, when a lace does come undone on that leg it results in going to the ground. The unfortunate part is it that I end up breaking a part of the leg. Therefore, not only is my run over, but I have a $1,000-$2,500 repair bill to contend with. You do the math! – John

With all of the other complications life throws at you, who needs to be worrying about their laces? Remove those tired tie-ups from your shoes and replace them with Yankz, the athletic lacing system that will not only save you time in transition, but in getting out the door for your morning training run as well. Once you fit Yankz to your shoe, you never need to readjust or tie them again. Your shoes are always ready to go. When we tested these laces, we were pleased with the fit and ease they brought to our shoes.
