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
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.
My brother in Lemmy, may I tell you the Good News of the Nike Free Run Flyknit 2018? The shoe that has such a cult following, it’s still in production 7 years and two sequels later?
Those do look really comfortable! I wear something very similar for work, but they have more a dress shoe look. Almost exactly like these but thinner I think: https://a.co/d/cLPsGH6
I’ve only done it about 5 times so far and I don’t see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It’s only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.
If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I’ll come back to your comment to let you know.
Hey, I know this 4 weeks later, but I thought I’d let you know that I used the hand sanitizer spray for a couple months with no bleaching. I actually just recently switched to Lysol fabric disinfectant and I get even better results so I’d recommend that instead.
Velcro is just so much better, why the fuck do we use laces?

Hopefully it comes soon enough

Doesn’t the alcohol attack the fabric and makes it go white or something?

Great then :) if not sure if it could do that. It know it tends to happen with plastics but I always fear it could happen to other things
