I absolutely L-O-V-E going through Kickstarter to see what’s new in the world. And while doing it some time ago I came accross Hickies 2.0 – a lacing system that replaces traditional laces and makes putting your trainers on easier, all while making you look more stylish.

It works with different types of eyelets, comes in many colours and can be adjusted to fit tighter or loser. Each pack comes with 14 units and if you only use 6 for a pair, like I did, you can fit 2 pairs and have some spare ones.

We bought many here at home, for both my husband and I, in black and grey. We still have loads of unused ones.

I used 6 for a pair of trainers and 10 for the other. (please ignore the old dirty trainers)

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, where 2 packs of 14 units each were sold for US$ 27, they are now sold online for US$ 17.99 per pack. Even with the price increase I still think they are worth it.

Like them? Then head on to https://www.hickies.com/ to check the available colours and order yours.

PS: This is not an advertisement – I really bought these on Kickstarter and recommend them because I like them.
