If you have kiddos who are constantly tripping over their shoelaces, or you just want to turn regular "laced up" shoes into a more slip-on style, I would highly recommend these no-tie laces from the CoolKnot brand. I ordered some online from Amazon Japan a while back, and I got a second pair to go with some new sneakers I bought for my daughter. They come in two different lengths (M and L size) and loads of different colors, so I'm fairly sure no matter what color you were looking for they'd likely have it. They're easy to lace through a pair of shoes, they stay put well, and they are honestly just a lot of fun!

You do need to be mindful of sizing with these. The M size is recommended for children's and women's shoes, and the L size is recommended for "general" -- I will say if you are taller than what I'd deem average Japanese height you might want to reassess that general rule. My daughter's shoes already needed the L size and she's only 10, so just factor that in. Overall though, the quality of these is great, I love that they mean no tripping over shoelaces, and they also mean you can just slip shoes on instead of having to tie them -- a win for cutting down your "getting ready" time in the morning, even if only by a little bit!
