I was originally selected on slowtwich.com to test and review Xtenex Laces. I was pumped to be picked, it felt like I won the lottery. I was given three different pair to try. The x200s, x300 and x400s. In the past I had used Yanks and Quick Laces so I had something to compare to.
On their website www.xtenex.com they have a Tips section about how to lace your shoes. I must have missed these tips because at first because getting these laces in was major pain in the ass. And then I realized that it was advised to put your shoe on and stretch the lace upon install. I then was amazed at the simplicity and the ability to adjust each knot to create the perfect custom fit.
