Sorry kid shoelaces will never go completely out of style.

I can’t recall my last pair of shoes with laces. It’s been that long?

allen@home’s and wiatr’s posts nicely complement each other.

That’s okay, kid. If you ever need them, I have detailed instructions written out for you.

In cursive.

I have started wearing the shoes with laces that don’t need tied. After having worn a couple of pairs I bought a pair with standard laces and it really was a pain having to tie them again.

Oh, you mean like independence, self-sufficiency and intestinal fortitude?

Are velcro shoes about to make a comeback?

Everything has come undone.

I can’t imagine not having shoe laces.

Once I got a Velcro pair, I’ve never gone back to tying laces again. What pains in the neck shoelaces are.

I tied my shoelaces the wrong way my entire life, until I saw this TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_how_to_tie_your_shoes

Now that I made that one simple change, my laces don’t repeatedly come untied, and I’m fine with laces.

I only use shoes with Velcro not laces.

recently bought leather boots. one pair buckles on the side, other pair ties

I hope your generation gets rid of ties as well while they’re at it.
