DiscIts review and a GIVEAWAY!

12/19/2013

6 Comments

 
What are DiscIts?  It's okay, I didn't know what they were either, but a few weeks ago, I received two free pairs of DiscIts to try out.  I'll admit, they sat on my kitchen table for a while because I had to find the time to "install" these no-tie laces into my running shoes.  It took a snowed-in Saturday evening and a little reminder from Tom (a DiscIts employee) for me to finally figure it out.
The next few days, I took my running shoes, now sporting DiscIts, to the test - and they were great!  While I only got to test these on the treadmill, I look forward to taking these out in the rain and snow, which is always when my running sneakers tend to come untied!
DiscIts review and a GIVEAWAY!
 DiscIts review and a GIVEAWAY!

Who would benefit from DiscIts?

  • runners (no more retying your shoes)
  • triathlete (speed up those transition times)
  • gym rat (easy on and off, great spin or yoga classes getting in & out of shoes)
  • youth athletes (great for soccer)
  • kids in school/camp on their everyday shoes

Pros

  • Obviously, no more stopping your activity to tie your shoes!
  • Low profile compared to other no-tie laces
  • No dangling or fraying of laces
  • Can be worn in casual mode for a "relaxed" fit
  • Comes in many colors to match all of your favorite sneakers!

Cons

  • You need to watch a video to learn how to install them, making installation take about ten minutes (but once you learn how to do it, future installations should be quicker - even the second shoe was quicker than the first)
  • Although they claim to be transferable from one pair of sneakers to another, I haven't done this, and it seems complicated.
The people at Discits want YOU to try out their no-tie laces, so they're giving away a pair to three lucky readers!  There are many ways to enter, and you can enter once/day from now until Monday.  Use the widget below or follow this link!

I hate when my laces come untied while running! How do you get your shoes on and off with these?

Erica, when you install them, you make loops to wrap around the DiscIt - check out figure 3: http://www.discits.com/HowtoInstall.html

I just heard about these recently and I love it! I'm so bad an shoving my feet into my shoes without tying and I've even run that way, which is probably awful for my already bad ankles! These would be great for anyone - kiddos or even my husband who has a special lacing technique so he doesn't have to tie. Thanks!

I am intrigued. I have had to stop and tie my shoes during a 5K before. It made the difference between a PR day and a non-PR day, but I wasn't willing to risk a fall/injury.

these would be awesome, since my feet swell off and on, and i have to adjust my laces all the time!
