Lace-amatic tie shoelaces with one finger
Lace-amatic is an ingenious gadget to rid the hassle of tying or loosening shoe laces. Lace-amatic slips under your shoe laces, grab the top seven laces with it’s grooved lever and stays there to tighten or loosen your shoe-laces like a flip switch with only one finger. Gone is the hassle of bending down and using two hands to tie up your shoe laces.
Lace-amatic is particularly useful for individuals suffering from athritis, hip or back problems where bending down is a painful struggle. With Lace-amatic they don’t need someone else to help them tie and untie their shoes laces.
Unfortunately at the time of writing, Lace-amatic availability is pretty limited. Here’s a list of places that sells Lace-amatic.

It’s always irked me that our footwear still gets fastened by pulling strings through holes in shoes. I think this invention has brought a little more grace to the world.
I think Lace-amatic is one of the most elegant solutions to lacing I’ve seen in years. I think this is a website I’ll return to!
I tracked down a pair of Lace-amatic’s after seeing them on smarter goods. I’m now back in the athletic laced runners I used to luv and had to put aside. I’m now scoring a bunch for my friends.
Thanks Christina
