I have never had stretch laces...only tie laces.  Curious if anyone has difficulty putting the shoes on.  thanks

I have several pairs of Skechers sneakers that have the stretch laces and I have not had any trouble at all getting them on.  I have light summer pairs so I am generally barefoot in them.  Also most of mine have that little thing in the back to help pull them on if needed.

If you're referring to the bungee laces, no I haven't had any trouble putting them on, but you can't loosen them and they hurt my feet.  But, it could just be their shoes since all their newer shoes hurt my feet now including the ones that tie normally.

I find that they are easier to put on with bare feet or with thin socks. My thicker socks make it difficult to put bungee-lace shoes on.

I'm missing something here ... why would they be more difficult to put on?  I would think that stretchy laces, with more give, would be easier not more difficult to get into.

Yes, if you're referring to the shoes with bungee laces, I love them.  My husband only buys Sketchers with bungees too.  So easy to put on and take off.

yes..I am referring to bungee laces.  I was looking at the skechers website.  30% off and 20% with Rakuten.  I also have free shipping.  Plus if I have to return...I can return to a skechers store.  Which I have within 5 miles to me.

I have a few pairs of Skechers with bungee ties, but all their bungee ties are not the same.  Depending on the shoe and style, some of their bungee ties are 'looped' a little less taut/slightly looser than other styles, if that makes sense.  For me, some bungee ties are more comfortable than others.

I purchased bungee laces on Amazon...threaded them thru the loops on my tennies and now I can slide my feet in and out of my shoes!
