I have to get changed several times a night to go into a nuclear reactor containment building and reading this thread makes me want some kind of OSHA approved Velcro safety toe boot. Lacing and unlacing high leather boots like five times a night is a pain in the rear end.

i thought so too for the longest time but its actually a different bob barker. according to the website he was a simple man who started out in the back room of a barbershop with nothing but a dream and now he is the most successful businessman to profit off the pathetic existence of inmates everywhere

truly an american role model

tbh theres some overlap with strip club perverts there because both really enjoy masturbating in public.

Hi OP, I just got some of these in the mail yesterday and they own. I got them not because I hate tying my shoes but because I'm :spergin: about sneakers and don't like having the bunny-ears on certain pairs.

well you pretty much got the basics down in this thread: mesh basketball shorts, drawstring sweatpants, unicolor tanktops/tshirts and velcro shoes. i advise staying away from the bob barker bedding and bath line however

Can't you just wear shoes designed not to have laces? I feel like it's a pretty common shoe design outside of sportswear.

What shoes do you guys want velcro on is mostly the part I'm confused about. Velcro is a replacement for laces which is really something you only need on sneakers. Pretty much the most basic fashion 101 for dudes is you shouldn't be wearing sneakers unless you are presently exercising or expect to be doing so in the near future. Every other kind of shoe I can think of will have varieties with and without laces, so if you hate tying your shoes that much you can just get ones without. If you are wearing sneakers but hate laces just get velcro, as it's not like anyone is going to care what your shoes look like when you're exercising in them and if you're wearing them day to day you're going to look clueless either way.

my dad wears velcro shoes because i wore them when I was like 3 years old and he thought they were a good idea and he probably has aspergers

like back when I was a ~troubled teen~ my therapist met him once for like 10 minutes and right after went "you know your dad probably has aspergers right"

so there, velcro shoes are what my weird dad wears, therefore they can't be cool

Loafers are velcro shoes for adults. You can even get away with them in formal occasions if you get a black leather pair.

I used to work at a skateboard/clothing store in a small town where a local kid would come in and hit on me wearing those shoes and he would talk about how he would take these long walks up in the hills with them on and how they made him closer to nature, and feel like he could grip the earth with his feet while he climbed on rocks.
He was really loving weird, and I think it is fair to say I've personally never seen a non-weird person wear them.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
If you're an adult wearing velcro shoes I assume you have diabetes and your footmeat is one good tug away from coming right off.

Sounds like they fit the profile - im glad they never dropped down from ur ceiling to drag you off to their nest.

There's nothing wrong at all with doing outdoor activities w/o shoes on, so just do that if u want to commune with nature or just feel good so long as you arent at risk of stepping on something painful - in fact id much rather do that if possible than wear sandals.

In all honesty I can't remember the last time I tied my shoes. I leave all my shoes tied and just slip them on, I'm just too busy and important to waste time tying.
