this is a known problem, don't lace them up to the top

I super glued mine and stopped lacing them high. Apparently lacing your shoe for support is just for show.

they might even come off even if you don't lace them, probably from stuff scraping and bumping into them since they are exposed.

Coincidence. I'm actually wearing mine today. Never any problems with the laceloops. Maybe you tie them too tight. Shoe glue might help. And after you putit back on, I'd suggest using the lace-hole instead of the plastic loop.
On a side note. On the way to work I was trying to remember when these released. Anyone know? Im thinking Nov 04', but Im pretty sure I'm wrong.

yes sir. 2 of mine fell of 1 on each shoe, after that I pulled all of them off and drilled holes where the hoops were so that I could still wear them to ballin.

That's never happened to mine.
Of course I don't lace mine up all the way to the top or play ball in them.....
