Frequently Bought Together

Regain independence in your daily routine with Xpand No-Tie Elastic Shoelaces. These innovative laces are a vital piece of low cost assistive technology, designed to transform any standard lace-up shoe into an accessible slip-on. By eliminating the need for tying, bending, and knotting, they remove a significant barrier to dressing for individuals with limited mobility or fine motor challenges.

How This Dressing Aid Supports NDIS Participants

Standard shoelaces can be a source of frustration and safety risk. The Xpand system directly supports NDIS goals related to independence and personal care by:

  • Supporting Fine Motor & Dexterity Needs: For individuals with arthritis, cerebral palsy, or those recovering from a stroke, the fine motor skill of tying a bow can be difficult or impossible. These laces require zero manipulation once installed—simply slip the foot in and go.

  • Accommodating Swelling & Circulation: The elastic material provides flexible tension that adapts to the foot's shape. This is crucial for participants who experience daily foot swelling (edema) or require diabetic-friendly footwear that doesn't restrict circulation.

  • Assisting Sensory Processing & Autism: Many autistic children and adults struggle with the sensory annoyance of "bunching" laces or the pressure of knots. Xpand laces provide a smooth, consistent fit. Furthermore, they eliminate the safety hazard of untied laces for those who may not notice or be able to re-tie them.

  • Reducing Physical Strain: By turning shoes into slip-ons, users no longer need to bend over for extended periods to tie shoes, reducing back strain and fall risks for those with balance issues.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Set It and Forget It: Install once using the patented Lace Anchors, and you never have to tie your shoes again. The system locks your desired tension in place, ensuring a consistent fit every time.

  • Universal Trim-to-Fit Design: One size fits all. The long elastic laces (approx. 132 cm un-stretched) allow them to be installed on any adult or child's shoe, and then trimmed to the perfect length for a neat, custom fit.

  • Stretch-Fit Comfort: Unlike rigid cotton laces, the zero-memory elastic expands and contracts with your foot's natural movement. This eliminates pressure points and ensures comfort during walking, therapy sessions, or daily activities.

  • Versatile & Secure: Whether for school shoes, supportive runners, or casual sneakers, the laces keep the foot locked in securely without restricting movement, promoting stability and agility.

Package Includes

  • 2 x Elastic Laces (sufficient for 1 pair of shoes)

  • 4 x Lace Anchors (secures the laces)

  • 4 x End Clips (for a finished look)

  • Installation Guide

The Xpand No-Tie Shoelaces are a practical dressing aid designed to assist NDIS participants in achieving their personal goals for independent living and self-care. They are classified as Level 1 Low Cost Assistive Technology - a simple, effective tool that removes the barrier of shoe tying.

How This Item Can Support NDIS Goals

These adaptive laces directly support NDIS goals related to dressing independence, safety, and physical mobility by:

Enhancing Independence in Dressing: For participants with reduced fine motor skills, arthritis, or hemiplegia, tying shoelaces is a significant barrier. This system converts standard shoes into slip-ons, allowing the participant to put on and take off footwear without assistance from a carer.

Improving Safety & Fall Prevention: Untied laces pose a major tripping hazard, especially for those with balance or mobility issues. The locking anchor system ensures laces remain secure at all times, mitigating this risk and creating a safer walking environment.

Accommodating Physical Health Needs: The elastic nature of the laces accommodates foot swelling (edema) and prevents restriction of circulation, which is vital for participants with diabetes or circulatory conditions, ensuring footwear remains comfortable and safe throughout the day.

Meeting 'Reasonable & Necessary' Criteria

These laces align with the NDIS 'Reasonable and Necessary' criteria by being a highly cost-effective support that directly addresses functional limitations in dressing and mobility.

It represents excellent value for money by extending the life and usability of standard footwear, avoiding the need for expensive specialised orthopaedic shoes. As a piece of versatile low cost assistive technology, it is a practical investment in daily independence.
