Shoe-Tying Tool for Kids That Reduces Frustration.

Training TiesĀ® is a patented shoe-tying tool and shoe-tying aid for kids that holds each step in place so children can learn on their own shoes without starting over every time the laces fall apart.

Created by Bobby Morong, a special education teacher with 20+ years of classroom experience, this teacher-invented shoe-tying tool was designed for the exact moment most learners get frustrated: they make progress, lose tension, the loop collapses, and the whole knot unravels.

Why it works

  • Holds laces in place while kids learn so they can pause, think, and finish the next step.
  • Works on your child's real shoes, not a separate practice board.
  • Builds the real skill instead of replacing laces with Velcro or no-tie shortcuts.
  • Designed for different learners, including children with autism, ADHD, fine motor challenges, dyspraxia, Down syndrome, and other developmental differences.
  • Includes step-by-step video support through a QR tutorial card.

Unlike a practice board, this shoe-tying aid works on the shoes your child actually wears, which makes carryover to daily life much easier.

How checkpoint technology works

Each Training Tie uses waterproof vegan leather checkpoints that help lock the laces at the critical failure points of shoe tying. Think of them like save points in a video game: if your child gets one step right, Training Ties helps hold that progress while they work on the next step.

  1. Your child ties the first knot.
  2. Training Ties helps hold the progress in place.
  3. Your child forms and finishes the loop without going back to zero.

What's included

  • 1 pair of Training TiesĀ® in your chosen color
  • Printed tutorial card with QR code video instruction
  • Reusable, waterproof vegan leather design
  • Made in the USA

Who it helps

  • Parents teaching shoe tying at home
  • Kids who tried shoe tying and ended in frustration
  • Children who need fine motor, sensory, or motor-planning support
  • Teachers, OTs, therapists, and classroom teams

Your child does not need more reminders. They need the laces to stop falling apart while they learn.
