Xtenex Accu-Fit Compression Shoe Laces

Shoe laces can often be the cause of sore and aching feet, because they don't allow your shoes to swell with natural swelling that occurs during the day. Helping to improve blood flow, sore feet and fatigue, the Xtenex Accu-Fit Compression Shoe Laces use special compression knots that disappear when pulled which allows them to slide through eyelets on a shoe. They then reappear once the pressure is removed, allowing the laces to stay in place, untied, and ready to stretch with the expansion of your feet during a long day.

Who Can Benefit from the Xtenex Accu-Fit Compression Laces?

Young children can struggle tying laces due to inexperience, and the elderly can also struggle due to decreased mobility. The Xtenex Compression Shoe Laces stay in place as the knot on the laces can contract and retract in size when pulled, meaning that they can fit through an eyelet and stay there when required, helping to maintain a safe, secure and comfortable fit.

This secure fit is unparalleled by normal laces, providing a level of support that is proven to decrease foot pain after a long day. The thin and narrow design of the laces are perfect for smart shoes, and can even transform a shoe into a moccasin if required.

Benefits of the Accu-Fit Compression Laces

The Xtenex Accu-Fit Compression Laces are designed for use with smart shoes and can provide a number of benefits. Firstly, they incorporate revolutionary compression knot technology, meaning that the wearer can pull the knots on the laces apart, slide them through the eyelets in their shoe, release the laces and have a tight fitting shoe that doesn't require tying.

As the laces can then stretch and retract between the eyelets, it means that your shoes can stretch with the natural swelling of your feet. This helps to prevent your feet from rubbing the top of your shoe, helping to alleviate sore and aching feet and reduce the chances of ankle instability, blisters and calluses. This provides a unique catered fit that can't be achieved with normal shoe laces, perfect for a long day at work.

Reduces Pain During All-Day Use

They can reduce pain during a long day on your feet, as the laces can expand with the natural swelling that occurs during the day. Normal laces can prevent your shoe from expanding with your feet which can cause blood flow to be disrupted and your feet to swell. By allowing your shoes to increase in size with your feet, you alleviate the pressure that your feet feel, allowing them to breathe and allowing you to stay comfortable.

How to Use Xtenex Accu-Fit Compression Laces

To adjust these laces to your liking, stretch them apart in opposing directions to reduce knot size, then thread the stretched portion through the eyelet. Select the desired compression index (number of knots between eyelets) then release to set.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
