After being advice about new type of laces and checking them on the Dublin Marathon Expo I have decided that I will give them a try. If these will work tension on the foot should be same on the whole lace length and you shouldn’t need to do and undo them again. Sounds like a gadget which tends to get money from you but will check these. Already have two pairs of laces on my Mizuno’s and Asics. Will inform you all about the results.

What are XTENEX®- ACCUFIT Compression Laces™?
ACCUFIT Compression Laces™ feature enlarged (auto-blocking) knots that can be manually reduced in diameter size by stretching the lace apart where the reduction is needed, either for lacing or adjustment, release to set your compression preference. Knots create an adjustable compression zone between each set of eyelets to provide a tuned ergonomic fit. XTENEX® (indeXed-TENsioning-nEXus) is a worldwide-patented elastic shoelace technology that produces adjustable tension between shoe eyelets.
* Aid in reducing painful footwear binding and foot fatigue caused by lace migration and natural foot swelling.
* Provide ergonomic lace expansion to relieve pressure from natural foot swelling and aids healthy blood circulation to your feet.
* Provide your feet with all-day active fit, support and comfort; compression elasticity provides fast recovery of footwear support systems while enhancing all-day performance and comfort. Pull footwear on, Slip footwear off.
Update: On the beggining I thought that they are a little bit too tight. But that couldn’t be the case cause there was no lace left after putting these in. Anyway, after couple of minutes these laces have actually settle and made shoe to sit cofortable on the foot. So, on the treadmill leaces worked. Will see on the road and during marathon.
