I wear orthopedic shoes with velcro straps because that model only comes with velcro straps, but they don’t last very long and they don’t look very good. I’d rather they came with laces because I don’t have issues tying laces myself.
For every shoe that supposedly looks good with laces, there’s a better looking one with velcro, buckle, disk or just slip in. I guess it’s a matter of taste tho.
Also, laces get soaked with dirt and if you’re not using something like the OP, they can rip or come loose and you step on them.
Never did a velcro die on me before the shoe died. Same for zippers on boots and buckles on sandals. Even the stupid disks lasted longer than laces.
What if you prefer laces?
