Handy Alternative To Shoe-Tying
Zubits allow the shoe’s tongue to be lifted, forming a wide opening that makes slipping your foot into the shoe easy. The magnets on each side attach themselves when you pull the two pieces together—no more tying. Removing your shoes is as easy as stepping out of them. Zubits can be moved from one pair of shoes to another.
Zubits come in three sizes. Choosing the right one for your needs isn’t based solely on shoe size. As the Zubits’ size increases, so does the magnet’s strength. Size 1 is most often used by children, elders and some people with special needs. Size 2 is the most popular and used by most adults. Size 3 is for performance/active use. An interactive selection tool is available on the company website. Answer questions about your weight, the activity level you’ll be using the Zubits for, how tight you like your laces and the heaviness of your shoes, and you’ll get a recommendation for which Zubits are best for you.
Installation instructions are included with the Zubits, and video instructions are available on the company website. Website users can also find several “tips and tricks,” such as opening and closing with one hand, the best method for closing, tips for laces, and much more.
With over 3,500 ratings on Amazon, Zubits average 4.3 out of 5 stars. One reviewer says, “Super easy to install. Strong magnets. These are wonderful to use with my husband’s diabetic shoes. He has limited mobility, and these make putting shoes on much easier.”
Zubits are available on the company website and on Amazon. They cost $14.99 to $22.99 plus S&H and come with a set of lace-securing clips.
