Riplaces falls in the category of speed laces - but they give you SO much more than a no-tie slip on shoe. That's not even biggest advantage of Riplaces. We have 100's of athletes using our speed laces now. As a matter of fact, three of the top 10 finishers at the Ironman World Championships 2016 had Riplaces on. So what makes them so different? That's our favorite question!
