Velos Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Not just for kids.....These are new to me or I never paid attention in the past. A loved one wears tennis shoes but can no longer tie them, didn't want Velcro or hooks etc. A friend gave me a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VF2FG88/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to try. They worked so well I got some for me. I thought they might not be secure enough but they seem to be working very well and are easy to slip on and off. They come in all sorts of colors to go with most any lace up shoe or to be a trend setter around the campfire with neon or holiday colors....

stripit Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 We used a different brand bought through Amazon, LOVE THEM, makes the shoes a real slip on and they hold tight, and I have been able to wear out the shoes and move those laces to the new pair. Well worth looking into for those that have a hard time tying laces.

Ray,IN Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 The first of those I saw was at the huge flea market in Parke county Indiana almost 20 years ago.

sandsys Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 With the disappearance of analog clocks kids no longer understand "quarter to 2". But, I am in favor of those shoe laces. I would buy some if I owned any shoes that tie.

TXiceman Posted August 11, 2022 Report Share Posted August 11, 2022 Kids can't tell time on an analog clock, Kids cannot read or write in cursive, Kids cannot do simple math in their heads, Kids are not taught creative thinking, and now they will never learn to tie a bow on their shoes. I feel so sorry for this and future generations.

JimK Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 In addition to sandals, there are lots of shoe that do not have shoelaces. I especially like Merrell jungle mocs. Skechers is now heavily advertising their slip on shoes with a special heal designed to slip on and still provide a secure fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
