Anyone have them? How do you like them? I have two pairs of the leather elastic laces which I love and hopefully last me for more years to come.
I saw that he really likes them and I used his lacing method for them as well that is on a youtube video on Lunas site. It really secures the sandal to the foot very well...I think Pat Sweeney ran Boston in a pair with the ribbon laces. He was raving about how great they are when he was here.
Hey PB, did you try this tying method I am linking below? It seems to be the only method I've found that really works pretty well with this ribbon.Let me preface this by saying I've only ever run in Lunas with the ATS laces prior to today.
I used the new ribbon laces today. I'm not a big fan. The material is very comfortable, but is so slick, they kept moving around and coming loose, no matter what I tried. I'm definitely not a fan.
Maybe someone with more experience in tying the laces would fare better.

I'm glad I was able to help someone out. Ya, I've found with those ribbon laces if you don't follow Pat Sweeneys exact tying method I have lot's of problems with them. I've also found with his method that the sandals are much more secure than any other lacing method I've ever used (including the ats).I tried my ribbon laces again today. I laced them while watching the Pat Sweeney video for reference.
SUCCESS!!! It took me awhile to get the right tension and technique, but I got it. Went for a short run, and I must say, the ribbon laces were VERY comfortable.
I'm going to stick with my ATS laces for my HM on Saturday, but only because I haven't had a chance to run long in the ribbon laces.
Thanks again, Nick (and Bourbonfeet)!
