    Aesthetics and tradition I’d say. Maybe there’ll be a generation that couldn’t care less about tying and there’s a big flip.

    And then their kids have a hipster revival of laces and yearn for a nostalgic time they never lived in while saying they were born in the wrong generation lmao

      Hopefully it comes soon enough

      I’m so lazy and I never untie my shoes so when I put them on again they are damaged a bit, and then end up not lasting for long. Apart from that, it works surprisingly well. Do people do that do?

        My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they’re usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it’s probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.

        If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.
