Okay, maybe people can say that shoelaces are obsolete now. Who wants to tie their shoelaces when they have velcro? Or slip-on shoes?

Anyway, although less and less people choose to use shoes with shoelaces, they are by no means obsolete. Many people don’t feel that it is not shoes (okay, maybe not heels or dress shoes) if it doesn’t have shoelaces. The appeal of shoe lace s is not diminished either, with the presence of variances in tying those shoelaces such as these.

They say that shoes can express your inner hearts. Because you can easily judge people based on their clothes, you can just wear nondescript clothes, so, one way to express yourself is based on their shoes. If you also being repressed in terms of shoes (ehm, not based on personal experience), one way to express your inner fashion rebel is with your shoelaces)
