• Why are Flatlines more comfortable than normal laces?

• Can I fit Flatlines to any type of footwear?
• Flatlines are suitable for most types of lace-up shoes especially sports and athletic shoes. Flatlines may not be suitable for boots or shoes with metal hooks instead of standard eyelets.



• What is the benefit of Flatlines' side-fastening option?
• The side-fastening option leaves the top of your foot free from knots, bows or locking devices that may cause irritation during activity.



• I have a latex allergy - are Flatlines safe for me to wear?
• Flatlines are latex-free as they re made from the same material often used in the medical field and are thus non-allergenic.

• Yes they will. Although Flatlines are most effective through standard eyelets your custom-fit will still be maintained from run to run in shoes with the loop-style eyelets.
