What about "Lock Laces" Good? Bad?

Get a life you dickless wonder.

Is anyone actually using this item or is it more hype than usefullness.
Thought I would ask people in the know before I purchase any of them.

Most racing flats use flat laces -- these are less prone to coming untied
than round laces that are often on trainers. I've never had laces come
undone in a race, and very seldom on training runs.

Ahh, the mysteries of the universe solved in 5 posts...

I've been to Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, Loch Annabash, and a few dozen
more, but I've never heard of Loch Laces. Info please?

I bet the OP meant to say "wok races", not "loch laces".

Another option - which I use - Speed Laces - iBungee. Work great for me.

When I got home I pulled the book out and it's call tThe Better Bow.
essentialy you start your knot like usual and make a loop, instead of
going around this loop with the other lace once, go around twice, then
tuck it in to form the second loop. Pull on both loop to tighten the
know as usual, real tight. The beauty of this knot is that you can still
loosens with a pull on either end. Very helpful when someone is trying
to remove a chip, or you need to tighten or loosen your laces.

A few years back Runner's World had a short article about this with
better pixs (easier to follow) than the Klutz book.

I used things like this for several years. Then I discovered the "once
around the loop" knot in the Klutzes book of Knots and haven't a
problem
with laces coming undo since then, regardless of the type of shoe lace
being used.
