Summary

If you're sick of tying your shoelaces then you're gonna love these 'Better Magnetic Shoelaces' in 5 different styles. They're more comfortable than laces and the magnets I've used in the 'Sport' versions are stronger than the commercially available magnetic laces and won't come undone unless you want them to.
I've added a new 'Sport Low' version and included reworks of my already published magnetic laces combined into one thing. The remix's are primarily reworked for better print quality with anti-curl lobes added as well as some minor design tweaks too.

The clips meet at a slight angle to prevent the pressure point that the commercial clips give you.

The made 3 short videos showcasing them plus how to make them here:-

'Sport Extra':- https://youtu.be/kVdmidrNOus
'Casual'(weak hold):- https://youtu.be/T6a47MAWlmo

For the 'Sport', 'Sport Low'(NEW!) and 'Sport Extra' you'll need 8 magnets while the 'casual' (weak hold) versions only need 4 magnets.
Here's two ebay links to the size magnets used :-
