YANKS!

I find them to be an adequate but not perfect solution. I've used several pairs for four years now and cannot get them properly adjusted, they're either too tight or too loose, though neither degree is unbearable.

I'm seriously considering Speedlaces and would have them already if we had a local retailer.

I like mine, but it also took me a few runs to get them adjusted.

That's why the instructions say to leave some excess before you cut them. Often they require adjusting. Just play around w/ them if you haven't cut them too short.

I was hestitant about using them on a marathon and that proved unwarranted. I don't think I'll ever use regular laces again. 

It's a tendency to roll the foot outward when running.  There are three basic positions your foot can tend to move - pronation, neutral, or suppination.  Suppination is relative uncommon. 

To picture it, imagine your hand as a foot.  Hold it straight out, palm down.  Now rotate it like you are a water carrying a bowl of soup.  That rotation is suppination ("Soup-ination" is how I was taught to remember).  If you rotate the other direction from neutral, that would be pronation.

A good running store can take a look at you old shoes wear pattern, and also watch your gait to help you determine your position.

Let us know how you like the speedlaces

Thinking about a pair myself

Thanks for the pronation definition! 

I've got a pair of the elastic speed laces and love them.  Much more comfortable and convenient than standard laces (I wear Acics GT-2130 shoes, if it matters)
