text: I love these.  I have owned a pair before had them for two years before they just were done.  Place in a park of shoes, new shoes move them over.  Shoes will be replaced before they die.  Convert any shoe to a step in, no tie.  My fingers have arthritis in them so lacing up and tying a shoe off hurt some.  No more with these.  Great value for the price!  $20.00 gets me 6 years of use!  Don't get another brand!
