If you’re a mom of active kids, you know the drill. You’re finally settled in on the sidelines with your coffee, ready to watch the game, when your child comes running over in a panic: “Mom! My laces came undone again!” Cue the eye roll, the sigh, and the sprint across the field to help.
And isn’t it funny how it always happens in the middle of the most important play? Suddenly you’re on the sidelines, crouched down, trying to tie laces as fast as humanly possible while feeling the pressure of an Olympic event. And in that moment, it’s like you completely forgot how to tie shoes—you fumble, the knot won’t stay, and all the other parents are silently cheering you on.
Or maybe your kiddo is a goal keeper and is unable to tie their shoes with their keeper gloves on? This is where Laceeze come in clutch.
Sound familiar? This used to be me every single practice and game… until I discovered Laceeze. I thought they were a gimmick at first but these have without a doubt turned out to be the best soccer mom purchase I have made thus far.
What Are Laceeze?
Laceeze are these simple little silicone bands that slip over your child’s shoes and hold their laces tightly in place. That’s it! But let me tell you—they are a total game changer. Once you tie the laces and pop the Laceeze on, the laces stay put. No more constant retying, no more tripping mid-game, no more frantic “Mooooom!” from across the field.
They come in two sizes:
- Original – best for kids’ shoes, fitting from about US Youth size 1 up to US Men’s/Women’s size 7
- Max – perfect for bigger shoes, fitting US Men’s/Women’s 7.5 and up
And with so many fun colors to choose from, your kids can even pick their favorite to match their team or personality.
Why I Love Laceeze (and Call Them a Sanity Saver)
- Fewer interruptions. My kids can focus on playing, not retying.
- Peace of mind. No more worrying about trips and falls from untied laces.
- Saves time. Mornings are smoother when I’m not double-knotting and retying before school drop-off.
- Kids feel independent. Even little ones can manage on their own—just one knot, slip on the band, and done.
- They make an amazing team gift. Buy them in your team’s colors as an awesome team gift and help out your fellow parents.
Honestly, they’ve cut out one of those small but surprisingly stressful daily soccer mom headaches. My kids have said they like the compression feeling it gives them and there are no more cleats flying through the air.
Last weekend at my sons’ soccer tournament, I realized something amazing: not once did my son run over mid-game for me to fix his shoes. He played start to finish without a single lace mishap. Do you know how glorious it was to sit and just watch the game? Total mom win.
Where to Get Them
You can grab Laceeze right here or on their website. There are a few generic brands but I have had the best luck with the original Laceeze brand. They are thicker and more durable. We are still on our first pair after 10 months of use. Trust me, once you try them, you won’t want to go back to the days of constant lace drama.
Soccer life is full of enough chaos and Laceeze takes one little thing off our plates as moms. They may be small, but they save time, energy, and yes, our sanity. And in mom life? That’s priceless.
Let me know below if you decide to try them out!
All the best,
