Magnetic Shoelaces

Individuals struggling with limited dexterity due to muscle control issues or joint pain often find it challenging to lace and tie their shoes. Magnetic shoelaces, created by the innovative Ruiz brothers at Adafruit, offer a simple solution for putting on, tightening, and later removing lace-up shoes. This design upgrade enhances the original concept by accommodating bar magnets of any size - significantly more affordable and powerful than disk magnets used in earlier designs. Additionally, it safeguards these magnets within a protective shell and accommodates various shoe sizes based on vertical and horizontal lace hole spacing. To customize this design and assemble your magnetic shoelaces, refer to the comprehensive parameters and instructions available at https://wp.me/P9evBA-eO. For even greater flexibility, you can utilize the Thingiverse Customizer or install OpenSCAD on your PC for local customization.
