      Aesthetics and tradition I’d say. Maybe there’ll be a generation that couldn’t care less about tying and there’s a big flip.

      And then their kids have a hipster revival of laces and yearn for a nostalgic time they never lived in while saying they were born in the wrong generation lmao

        Hopefully it comes soon enough

        I’m so lazy and I never untie my shoes so when I put them on again they are damaged a bit, and then end up not lasting for long. Apart from that, it works surprisingly well. Do people do that do?

          My feet sweat a lot so I wear very thin shoes with airation holes and they’re usually pretty stretchy. I slide my shoes off and on easily and only tie them once when I first have to buy a new pair. Usually the heel blows out before anything else, but it’s probably my fault because I throw them in the washer/dryer trying to fight the stink from sweaty feet.

          If anyone else has this problem I just recently found that hand sanitizer spray works way better than washing and drying because the alcohol kills the smelly bacteria.

            My brother in Lemmy, may I tell you the Good News of the Nike Free Run Flyknit 2018? The shoe that has such a cult following, it’s still in production 7 years and two sequels later?

              I’ve only done it about 5 times so far and I don’t see any discoloration yet. I actually got this spray from a CBD company years ago. It’s only alcohol, lemon, and water as far as I can tell.

              If the insides of my shoes start to turn white I’ll come back to your comment to let you know.

                Great then :) if not sure if it could do that. It know it tends to happen with plastics but I always fear it could happen to other things
