Magnetic shoe closures
Magnetic shoe closures are devices that close shoes using two magnetic bits attached to the shoelaces. The closures can be applied to most shoes.
Description
[edit]Magnetic shoe closure devices close shoes using two magnetic bits attached to the shoelaces, and where the bits take the place of the knot and bow.[1] The closures can be applied to most shoes as they are not directly linked to them, but the consumer ties them to the shoelaces.
Reception
[edit]A 2016 review in The Denver Post indicated the solution held tight for various activities, though it is perhaps "difficult to maneuver for some physically challenged individuals."[2]
