Why we still use shoe laces when we invented zippers and velcro.

also, why shoe laces were ever a thing, when buckles have been readily available for millenia and are far more reliable.

laces are easy to replace, replacing buckles and zippers is more expensive and more difficult

and if i ever catch you with velcro on your shoes i'm going to slap you into next week.

see, even knowing how stupid it is to wear laces over velcro, I still won't go with the velcro.


Whoever was in charge of marketing velcro failed, miserably. Pigeonholed the product into kids-wear, and let it get such a bad reputation outside that people are willing to risk life and limb to avoid it.

laces aren't stupid, it extends the life of a quality shoe. i have boots that have zippers, when that zipper goes it's pretty much not reparable. a good shoe will outlast laces which are easily replaced.

You just need to find a good shoemaker, complete bullpoop that something as simple as a zipper would end a shoes life.

it's possible, but would depend on if it's a standard size zipper etc and would be expensive

the point is that laces are easier to replace imo and glucker should stick to velcro.

Stupid question, but when did kids learn to tie shoelaces? Just curious how far behind gluck is.

you're canadian though

ek's site has an ad for a car dealership in illinois that states they have a 1999 jeep wrangler with 110,355 miles on it for $8,994.00

the entire backseat and cargo area would have to be filled with gold bricks for it to be worth $8,994.00
