Aren’t elastic laces bad for your feet or that’s just broscience?
As a triathlete, I’m told to use elastic laces only for a race and maybe a few workouts to see if you laced them right, but that’s it. I wouldn’t even use them for anything longer than 10k (Olympic distance), because what you gain in transition isn’t worth the risk/damage.
I used to wiggle my toes up and down while tying my combat boots and running shoes for many years.
Flexing the toes “up and down” while tightening seems to simulate natural movement of the foot while standing still and tying off the laces.
All of my running shoes now have elastic laces these days, but the principle idea remains.
