Better Magnetic Shoelaces - Sport

thingiverse

There's a fresh and upgraded version of my design available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2440309. If you're fed up with tying your shoelaces, you'll love these 'Better Magnetic Shoelaces'. They're more comfortable than traditional laces and the magnets I've used are stronger than those found in commercially available magnetic laces, so they won't come undone unless you want them to. The clips meet at a slight angle to prevent the pressure point that commercial clips often give you. I've made a short video showcasing them plus how to make them here: https://youtu.be/aoDEwSn9eKM. I also have a compact design for non-sporting use here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2386191. Additionally, I've created an Extra Strong Sport version here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2386461. You'll need 8 rectangular magnets that are sized 20x10x5mm to complete the project. You can find them here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10PCS-N52-Super-Strong-Block-NdFeb-Magnets-Rare-Earth-Neodymium-20-x-10-x-5-mm-/271650295535?hash=item3f3f9e8eef:g:39QAAOSwQJ5UUB07.
