  • Edema Friendly Design: The elastic construction expands with the foot throughout the day, ensuring comfort for participants who experience swelling.
  • Trip Hazard Prevention: The secure locking system ensures laces never come untied, significantly reducing the risk of falls for those with mobility impairments.
  • Slip-On Conversion: Instantly transforms standard footwear into slip-on shoes, reducing the need to bend over and strain the lower back.
  • Sensory Friendly Fit: Provides consistent, even pressure across the bridge of the foot, avoiding the sensory irritation often caused by tight knots or bunching.

Frequently Bought Together

Regain independence in your morning routine and eliminate the struggle of tying shoes with Xpand No-Tie Elastic Laces. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this adaptive dressing aid is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Arthritis, Cerebral Palsy, Dyspraxia, or limited upper limb mobility.

Standard shoelaces present a significant barrier to independent dressing, often requiring complex fine motor manipulation and sustained bending. The Xpand system replaces traditional laces with high-performance elastic, effectively transforming any lace-up shoe into a slip-on. Once installed, the patented anchor system locks the tension in place, allowing the user to slide their foot in and out effortlessly. The elastic material expands and contracts with movement, accommodating foot swelling (edema) and ensuring comfort without restricting circulation.

3. How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

  • Fine Motor Compensation: Removes the need for the "pincer grasp" and complex finger manipulation required to tie bows, enabling participants with reduced dexterity to put on shoes independently.

  • Accommodating Edema: The zero-memory elastic stretches to accommodate daily fluctuations in foot size due to fluid retention or swelling, preventing the restriction of blood flow common with static cotton laces.

  • Fall Prevention & Safety: Eliminates the risk of laces coming undone and creating a trip hazard—a critical feature for participants with balance or gait issues.

  • Sensory Regulation: Provides consistent, snug pressure across the top of the foot without the irritation of knots or uneven tightness, which is beneficial for participants with Autism or sensory processing differences.

4. Key Features & Benefits

  • Set-and-Forget Installation: Once the laces are trimmed and the anchors are locked, the shoes remain permanently adjusted, removing a daily step from the dressing routine.

  • Zero-Memory Elastic: Manufactured from premium elastic rubber that returns to its original tightness after every use, ensuring shoes do not become loose over time.

  • Universal Trim-to-Fit: Supplied as long 132cm laces that fit all shoe sizes (kids and adults) and styles, from high-top boots to running shoes.

  • Discreet Anchor System: The hardware hides inside the shoe for a clean look, or can be worn visibly, offering a solution that looks like standard shoelaces to reduce social stigma.

  • Slip-On Convenience: Allows the user to step into shoes without bending over, protecting the back and hips from strain.
