Why we know this works!
We love these shoe buttons because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we spend hours teaching one-handed dressing after stroke, and tying shoelaces is the step that stalls people most. Can you fasten lace-up shoes with just one hand? Yes. These buttons screw into the top shoelace holes, and you wrap the lace around the button to lock it in place and keep it tight. Once set up, slipping the lace on and off the button takes one finger, and it can even be done with a reacher.
This is especially helpful for stroke survivors and anyone with limited hand control who wants to keep wearing their regular tennis shoes, dress shoes, or lace-up boots. Check first that your shoe's eyelets fit a standard round athletic lace; if you would rather skip laces entirely, our Elastic Shoelace Bands turn any laced shoe into a slip-on.
