Having trouble with tying shoelaces, shoelaces coming undone, or troubles untying someone else’s secured knot?  When it comes to tying shoes, everyone has different limitations and learning styles.

Some of the reasons why people have problems could include conditions such as arthritis, dyspraxia, cerebral palsy, stroke, limited dexterity, recovering from recent surgery, for runners, learning to tie or tying is just becoming more difficult.  Whatever the reason, there are some great no-tie alternatives available.

Below are just some examples of options that go beyond even the traditional elastic shoelace:
