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

Shoelaces are just kind of whatever until you've perused Ian's Shoelace Site, the internet's greatest site, and then you realize they are actually excellent.

I must confess I suck at knots. I can do it obviously, but I'm slow and sometimes get it wrong. My brain absolutely refuses to visualize how it should go so I'm basically going blind.

If you get Salomon shoes then they come with cool kevlar laces and an integrated clip that deprecates knots forever.

Theres this absolute animal who does barefoot jogging in my neighbourhood. We’ve got a real problem with dogs making GBS threads all over the place round here too so it just seems like a terrible idea to me

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 found this out about 15 years ago and it has vastly improved the odds my shoe laces stay tied.If your laces are sitting vertical, reverse the over/under side of either the initial crossed lace or the over/under sides of crossing the loops.

They make socks with a flexible rubber bottom; skinners.cc . The problem with them as with anything you wear barefoot you really should clean them more often then you probably will. Also water.

Shoelaces are some weird olde timey poo poo we somehow just can’t get past. Someone please blow the lid off the big shoelace conspiracy in the 1950s to associate velcro with the elderly and handicapped.
I can think of no other reason that we’re using shoelaces anymore. Especially those stupid noodly dress shoes ones.
Also while we’re talking about this how does nobody know how to take care of a pair of shoes anymore? My shoes are dirty/scratched guess there’s no choice but to toss em in the trash. How are we still tying shoes and nobody polishes shoes?

I don't like shoelaces so I always get those slip on shoes from Skechers. Great for my numb diabetic feet :)

When I was in construction, our bootlaces get destroyed when sandblasting. so ended up just using gorilla brand duct tape.

Some astronauts even built VELCRO® Brand hook and loop tape into their helmets so they could scratch their noses in outer space!
