If you have sneakers like mine, the 3.4mm hole would best fit you. If not explore the rest of the models. 

The model is tested and I didn't have to readjust my laces for 1 week, despite of running, walking and other sports. Let's see if I would have to readjust them but I don't think so. They don't slip.  

Take a look at the pictures to see how to install them. The friction holds your laces in place and they remain adjustable. The negative part is that you remain with laces hanging. You can cut them but I don't recommend that. What I did is to tuck them up under the rest of the laces, on top of the tongue of the sneaker. 

Another idea that involves cutting the lace is when you make the loop, add two knots at the end of the Shoe Lacer and cut the rest. 

With this print, your sneakers will look original, tidy, and neat. Try it out for yourself. Printing time is just 20 minutes for a pair!

Print settings:

Material: PLA or another stronger filament

Infill: 100% 

Speed: 35mm/s, go slower with the speed

Perimeters: 2

I didn't use any brim and it was okay, if you have adhesion problems add a brim. 

I would love to see remixes of the idea! What I have in mind is adding space for letters, and movie characters. Also, a cool idea is to print them with exotic filaments like glow-in-the-dark.
