They say you spend about two weeks of your entire lifetime tying your shoes. With our "no tie" laces, you won't have to.

Our laces stretch when you insert your foot but holds that knot so you don't have to untie every time you have to take them on /off.
​

In our pictures, you will see the laces look very comfortable and look like they are on top, fluffy, and distinct from the shoe itself like pillows on a bed or the comforter. They are not pulled like a military tuck on a bed.
​

There are a few ways to do that and it comes down to comfort.
​

1. You can simply leave the laces inside the shoe where it is on top or under your foot.

2. You can also tie the knot behind the tongue.

3. Some people will tie it in front of the tongue as most people are used to, but will tuck the knot behind the "X" that is formed by top two laces.

With most pairs of pants, the pant leg will be long enough to cover that knot being tucked away in front.

Here's a video of how to tie Atoms shoe laces better:

(If your pets chew on your laces, no sweat. We have extra.)
