Hector Beerlioz posted:How come it's uncool for adults to wear velcro shoes? I wish they were cool, they just seem so much easier than laces. Seriously, it sounds like they are one of those things that should have been considered progress that everyone would latch onto and call good. Can someone please explain why society can be so cruel? The most uncool thing about these is that they are deffo some food service non-slip shoes, and anyone wearing those over 23 has and is making horrible life choices

I agree with the OP wrt the Velcro shoes and also think it's dumb that society has decreed that adults can't wear fanny packs. A bag that can hold a smart phone, extra battery and charging cable, wallet, pocket watch and everything else hands free and around my waist? Yes please

There exists a picture of my father in the early 90s where he is wearing a bright red hat with black streaks on it, a bright peach colored shirt, and a neon green fanny pack. Those were magical times.

Tricky D posted:gently caress velcro shoes. where the hell are the velcro fly jeans? People who don't want to deal with buttons or zippers just get pants with an elastic waistband.

Painful Dart Bomb posted:You need boas my man. I know these are real convenient for lacing quickly, but the system can bind up and the only way to get it off is to cut the cable. I dunno if they have improved it since it first came out, but I knew someone who had a pair of snowboard boots that worked like this and it got stuck, had to cut the cable and ruin the boots.

Yes please A fanny pack is a rubbish and inconvenient way to carry such things anyway, "hey look at me, I'm probably carrying expensive things in here, come steal them." And they're all rattling around together scratching each other, you have to dig in there to find the specific thing you're looking for, just like a purse. And it's not even really very well out of the way. What we really want for these purposes is an undergarment covered in pockets. A holstervest.

Velcro shoes, fanny packs, tucking t shirts into jeans, tucking pant legs into socks are all warning signs that the wearer is a mental defective you should avoid talking to.

I dunno if they have improved it since it first came out, but I knew someone who had a pair of snowboard boots that worked like this and it got stuck, had to cut the cable and ruin the boots. I have them on my bike shoes. They have improved the design and they don't bind up as much but it can still happen if you turn them the wrong way a bunch. They have a lifetime warranty though so if you gently caress them up you can just email the company and they will send you new ones for free.

A vendor keeps showing off his techno-laced shoes every time he comes over. I'm not even sure they sell them; I think he just wants to show off his cool shoe lace tech

Mange Mite posted:The brand name is "thunderwear" Anyway, this idea is getting even better. Bring back shoulderpads, but now have openings in the front. Put your wallet in one shoulder, your phone and keys in the other. If you need to carry more stuff than that, make your hair big and put the additional stuff in a headband. The neon color scheme is practical so you don't lose your valuable container-clothing.

I'm not weird.

It's just one of those things that is, and you need to conform or else you're gunna look weird and people will secretly laugh at you for it (and they prolly do already if your a goony goon so maybe just go full-goon). there are a lot of things like that like socks with sandals. velcro is a little unfortunate that it got caught up in that since it's actually really cool space-age technology but welp. it's called being an adult and realizing that everyone has collectively come together to agree it's stupid so you don't do it.

maybe if your already famous+attractive like tom cruise or something. the problem is you get awkward people without the slightest hint of social ques trying to pull stupid poo poo like fedoras or socks w sandals and they're exactly the kind of people who shouldn't be trying since it just reinforces it
