Share your #lifewithoutlaces with us! There’s a new way to lace the shoes you love—the HICKIES® lacing system. Simply put, HICKIES® is a smart and easy to use lacing system that connects each pair of eyelets independently and makes your shoes look fit and perform better. With the HICKIES® lacing system you can turn your shoe into a slip-on that securely adapts to your foot’s movements, and renders knots and bows to be a sloppy look of the past. Sneakers have evolved in every way except for shoelaces – they've been around since 3500 BC. Today shoes are made using the most advanced materials and latest innovations: we walk on chambers of air, wear custom memory foam insoles, and have threaded adaptative uppers.
SO WHY DO WE KEEP LACING UP OUR SHOES WITH STRINGS? The HICKIES® lacing system connects each pair of eyelets separately. This allows you to customize the fit with different tension in different parts of the shoe. Instead of a single lace running through the length of your shoe, each HICKIES® strap expands and contracts independently responding to each movement of your foot. Your sneakers will feel more comfortable and perform better than ever before. Here is our Press Kit. HICKIES® is the only lacing system that allows you to adjust your fit and have different levels of tension along your entire foot. This is because the HICKIES® Lacing System is modular, meaning instead of one lace running through the length of each shoe, you have one strap per pair of eyelets. This gives you maximum control when it comes to customizing tightness, comfort, and style. The HICKIES® lacing system fits any sneaker. Experiment to find your perfect fit.

Our company started with a Kickstarter campaign, a place where a crazy idea can redefine an industry. Since that first campaign, we continued with our mission of making every shoe fit and feel better.
In that time, we never stopped the development process — researching, tweaking the design, and testing until we got it right. All to bring you the improved and patent protected, HICKIES 2.0 and HICKIES Kids. We not only want to introduce you to an upgraded version of our original product, we want to make the Kickstarter community part of the second chapter of our story. This is why we decided to create a set of livestreamed events where we can interact with our first backers and new backers in real time, do live demos, give you an inside look of HICKIES behind the scenes, share ideas and creative processes, and bring you into our world. Kickstarter not only gave us a space to share our HICKIES dream with the world, it gave us a community to belong to and live a life without laces together.Sign up for our live streamed events on the top of the page and prepare your questions, thoughts, and curiosity. We are looking forward to getting to know you better!Show us how you live a #LifeWithoutLaces
Our happy backers can attest that we deliver on our promises of quality and timeliness. We've built mechanisms into our timeline to ensure we can deliver rewards on time even in the case of a massive campaign. That’s why we set some rewards to be sent before the holiday season and others after. Our several prototypes have been tested over and over again and we are 100% committed to following through on our word. In preparation for this new Kickstarter campaign, we made arrangements for production and delivery. The factory is lined up and we’ve gone with Backerkit for the survey and fulfillment to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that our backers get their HICKIES laces in time for the holiday season. Now, we just need to know how many sets to produce and we can get started. If despite our meticulous planning, under rare circumstances out of our control, our delivery deadline cannot be met, we promise to be transparent with our backers and keep you informed every step of the way.
