They're not really.  I picked up some of the ones they have at MEC (and they do have a bulk bin) and they're pretty cheap and in fact won't really hold the laces without slippage.  I tried them out and I don't have confidence that they'll work.   I think the ones ST is talking about, at least according to his description, are better quality that will properly bite down and do the job.  My problem is how do you order something worth $2.50 when shipping is $20.

The Fastex ones I referenced are military spec, proven in combat conditions, where you don't need your boot coming loose at the wrong time. They're made of a tough resin type plastic, that won't break under pressure. When I tried the old stuff bag toggles before discovering these, I had to tie a knot to secure the toggle in place, which defeated the whole toggle idea. IF you get a few pair, you'll see they're nothing like stuff sack toggles. More like stuff sack toggles on steroids ;D

I understand the shipping dilemma ;D But I'm sure if you peruse the site, you could find another item that might make the deal more palatable for you :question

They have some great stuff, most proven in the real world conditions.
You might try a good running store :-/  I know they have similar items, but not sure they have that one.

You could also Google Fastex Cordloc Boot Laces, and then run thru a web shopper. Maybe you could find a better price, or shipping rate?
