My shoes were fine, buckles not so much so. I didn't need a new pair of kicks, but these doo hickey's solved my problem. I'm off and riding once again....
These buckles do not come with new retainer pins.
This was a replacement for cables that had to be cut (long story). My biggest concern had been installation. There were several videos on-line that showed how to do it and it turned out to not be an issue. Now they work just as the old set, no better, no worse, which is fine.
I had to change my lace in the middle of a ride and I carry the lace and buckle part in my bag, took less than 10 minutes, love it!!
Good strong buckle easy to install
