Lacing Instructions

Yankz! laces are 40" in length and works up to a size 13 (below the ankle shoe).

Each package comes with the following: 2 Elastic Laces, 2 Locking Casings already attached, and 2 additional Toe Piece Locks for the bottom of your laces.

Your purchase is helping to support American workers. Since Day 1, Yankz! laces have been assembled, packaged, and printed in the USA. We proudly assemble all lace packages through regulated vocational workshops for adults who are physically or mentally challenged.

We have worked with hundreds of organizations throughout the years. Depending on the order size, we can even make you a completely customized product with your logo on it. See our customization page for examples.

The short answer is no. Your ankle usually requires the ability to open the tongue of the shoe a good distance to get your foot in and then pull the tongue closed again. You may consider our other product, Slacklace, for boots. But even then, you might have to do some tying and untying to get your ankle in.

Yes! We suggest either keeping them in your shoes, or putting them together in a washable bag. Wash your Yankz! laces with cold water and keep them out of your dryer. Our elastic lace are very durable, but they won’t survive the high temperatures of your dryer. We recommend you air dry them.

Yankz! are installed downward from the ankle to the toe box. Our lacing system results in two points of adjustment for the ankle and throughout the foot towards the toe. There are no loose ends to deal with once our system is installed. We have complete instructions for lacing on Yankz! packaging and our website.

Yankz! are sold as 1 pair per pack, so 1 pack is all you need for 1 pair of shoes.

It depends on the wear factor from the original pair of shoes and if the ends of the laces are in good condition. If the laces aren't overly worn out, you can transfer your Yankz! from one pair of shoes to another.

Yankz! laces work best on adult shoes size 5 and up. For kids, we have another product called Slacklace. They are flat, elastic shoelaces in a range of fun colors. Toddler shoes are generally too small for any lace system, but young kids with a few lace holes on each side can use Slacklaces.

Yes! Yankz! laces can even be used by customers who can only use one hand. After installing, it helps turn your shoes into easy slip-ons. Some customers use a shoehorn to assist without having to bend over as well. Installing the laces will most likely require some assistance, but then you will have the freedom to manage getting shoes on and off by yourself.

Yankz! laces are assembled in America

Since Day 1, the Yankz! Surelace System has been assembled, printed, and packaged in the USA. Your order is helping to provide jobs to American workers. 100% of our packages are assembled by workers who have varying degrees of physical or mental challenges that don’t allow them to work in a traditional work environment. The employees earn wages while working part of the day, then they work on life skills the other parts of the day.

We get more hugs and smiles from our workers than other companies. 😊 It’s a very special relationship that has lasted 20 years with the clients who do our assembly. We very well may be the last company doing assembly of shoelaces in America, but this who we are – and we’re proud of it.
