About

I believe people should not have to sacrifice quality, comfort or style in footwear. Replace-A-Lace can help regain freedom and independence when putting on and taking off your shoes.

I worked in retail footwear for over 26 years and listened to customers request hook-and-loop styles daily. I heard stories from caregivers, parents and spouses about why they needed new shoes that provided a quick and easy closure. I would see the disappointment when they saw the limited selection they had to choose from, if any at all. The stories were endless, but they all had the same outcome, frustration of not being able to find shoes with easy close straps.

I designed a product that is simple to use, allowing for an easy, yet secure alternative to laces. The straps allow the shoe to open wide for easy on and off and you can quickly control the pressure over the foot. Replace-A-Lace is the original, patented no-tie hook and loop shoelace (United States Patent #9743715) .
