This is a good trick, but with so many glowing reviews. I bought two pair. I would like to mention a few problems to balance out the reviews.

1) I can't walk around with it on or it will come off or come undone. I was really excited about this, but it has come apart in the last two walk-around shows I have done, exposing the gimmick.The only work-around I can come up with is to carry the bow in my pocket and put it on during the show. This can be part of the act.

2) The laces with which you make the bow are too long and look a little comical. They need to be an inch or so lollshorter. Cutting them to an acceptable length means losing the "end caps".

3) These work best on an athletic shoe. I bought a pair of dressier shoes at DSW that work fine, but it is limiting in formal situations. Also they only work with a certain (common) lace system.

These "end caps" are called aglets. You may be able to order some spares online. (This does of course not invalidate your point at all)
