The typical gay man has 72 pairs of shoes. At least according to the independent research study we conducted in our own closet.
But imagine a world where only one pair of shoes were needed to match every possible outfit ever assembled?
It’s entirely possible with U-Lace, a customizable shoe lace system that bucks tradition with its practically limitless application options. (Or more than 87 billion possible color and pattern combos, to be exact.)
Rather than starting at the foot of the shoe and working a long single lace through the holes until it ties at the top, the much-shorter U-Laces connect between two holes only, not the entire shoe’s worth.
By combining laces from a current palette of 50 colors (including glow-in-the-dark) and changing up the way you pattern them, you can match your shoes to even the most subtle hues in your shirts, jackets, pants, ties or Sunday morning goin’-to-church fishnet stockings.
And because U-Laces hold securely without the need to be tied, they transform any lace-ups into slip-ons. They were designed for sneakers, but we like how they can liven up a pair of leather dress shoes for a more fun fashion statement that’ll get people talking.
Or at the very least, staring at your feet with envy.
U-Lace, $3.49 per pack (minimum two packs per pair of shoes)
