Worse than Boa. Worse than velcro, even the typical ugly strips. Worse than elastic. Worse than those elastic curly laces. Worse than nothing. Shoelaces are bad. Thank you all for agreeing with me.

So the traditional definition of a shoe is that it has a sturdy sole so that is not a shoe

I love shoelaces, I tie them once a year tops and forget they exist.

I'd rather be wearing velcro light up sneakers though.

There's a right way and a wrong way to tie shoelaces, and 50% of y'all do it wrong. The loops should lay flat horizontally, not vertically. If yours lay more vertical than horizontal, swoop the other way.

I don't know how to embed images. Couple paragraphs down on this page shows right and wrong, and I assume tells you at some point how. It's long as poo poo and I didn't read it though.

it's true! I tied my shoes wrong all these years and now I have bone spurs, hip dysplasia, shoring of the knees, urticating hairs, and a serious nightsoil problem!

if your shoelaces come undone all the time when you're walking and you think the problem is that you're not tying them up tight enough - you're wrong, the problem is that you're tying them incorrectly.

I use to wear them but they are kind of a hassle to get on and I don't like talking to people.

How well are your shoes strapped on your feet machines? I tie my shoelaces and start a walking and I have to stop after a few hundred steps and pull and tighten them again.

Feeling like I could get knocked out of my shoes at any time is not a good feeling also feeling like I'm walking in sand.

if you put gum in your shoes they stay on better until it dries, but if you keep moving it should stay moist

I wear steel toed work boots. Honestly once you've broken in a pair or two even that process isn't that bad and they are real comfortable. Some of the things I've done at job sites I wouldn't trust other footwear, and certainly not other fasteners.
