donkpow Posted May 16, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 16, 2020 Back when the federal gov't was improving security in the immediate post 911 time, I had to go to the federal building here in Dayton Ohio. Part of the process was to show you cell phone(s). So I whipped out my phone and put it in the tray and while the security guy was looking at it I pulled out the other one and said like, this is the other one. As I ripped open the velcro closure on the case, I thought the guy was going to kill me. Apparently, I had caught him off guard and he heard a pistol holster when I opened the phone case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are either Velcro or that Boa twisty thing. Might find a tie up cycling shoe (I did see one when shopping a couple months ago), but very rare and not the norm.

sheep_herder ★ Posted May 16, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 16, 2020 Velcro on my braces is enough for now, maybe shoes in the far, far, distant future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted May 16, 2020 Share #8 Posted May 16, 2020 Velcro is too sticky and pokey. It tears up my clothes when it touches them. I have some beautiful Ibex things, and the Velcro on my messenger bag has left marks and a few tears, I have a Crome bag that is my backpack and their velcro is downright aggressive.

team scooter Posted May 16, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 16, 2020 Other than my work boots and dress shoes, I'm not sure when and what age I started tying my casual shoes loosely enough to just slip them on and off quickly. I even have a few favorite elastic shoes now. Maybe velcro is the next step. Next time I visit my dad, I'll need to check oot his shoes to see what lies in my future.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole bad feet thing has me thinking comfort only at this point. I will have to talk Wolf and Shepherd into making narrow shoes when I win the lottery.

MickinMD ★ Posted May 16, 2020 Share #17 Posted May 16, 2020 I have some sandals and shoes for wearing around the house, pool, etc. that have velcro ties and love the convenience. But if I'm going to do a lot of walking I want laces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
