About

Training Ties® was created by Bobby Morong, a former Physical Education and Special Education teacher who saw firsthand the need for an effective shoe-tying tool for kids. Teaching children to tie their shoes is not only an important life skill but also a crucial step towards their independence and self-confidence. Bobby spent years as an educator helping children learn this skill, and after experimenting with countless techniques and tools, he invented Training Ties—an on-shoe aid designed to simplify the learning process.

Training Ties function similarly to training wheels, providing visual and tactile guidance to make shoe-tying easier for young learners. Unlike alternatives like Velcro or slip-on shoes that bypass the learning process, Training Ties encourage children to develop this valuable skill themselves. The tool is perfect for children of all abilities, including those with special needs, and is effective in both classroom and home settings. Many teachers and parents have already seen their children successfully tie their shoes in minutes, thanks to Training Ties.

Made in the USA from durable, eco-friendly materials, Training Ties are designed to keep laces securely tied throughout the day, reducing the need for teachers and parents to constantly re-tie laces. This not only ensures safety on the playground and in the classroom but also frees up time for teachers to focus on teaching instead of retying shoelaces. Training Ties are available in various colors, making them fun and visually engaging for kids. Plus, they offer an affordable and effective solution for parents and teachers alike.

Through Training Ties, Bobby Morong has turned a classroom necessity into a tool that benefits children, parents, and educators everywhere. Training Ties® is committed to fostering independence, confidence, and safety in children, one lace at a time.
