These shoelace belts are amazing, they have great colors and its good that they now offer a second size for people with smaller waists. They are sturdy and long lasting, mine is only a little dirty and scratched on the aglet because of everyday use and i'm impressed. They are very cheap for the good quality that you get, not to mention the company members themselves are very nice people. At the time I had a small new and not well know youtube channel, I did an unboxing video and they left a comment which I was stoked about. So you should definitely get a shoelace belt from them, if not because you need to hold up your pants then do it because they are a 5-star company
