...and that's because they are fucking stupid.

You know what I recently observed? A bunch of kindergarteners fastening their shoes to their feet with velcro straps.

Their shoes also had little blinky lights on them, so that cars don't run them over, when they chase a soccer ball into the street. Let make all the adults wear velcro shoes with blinky lights on them too.



I started using velcro-fastening shoes when I had a mild stroke that prevented me from tying laces. Now, I continue to use them because (1) they are very convenient and easy to adjust, and (2) I go dancing a lot and find them easier to switch to my dancing shoes.

Considering how often I have to retie the laces while dancing, I would definitely consider getting dancing shoes with velcro.
