I had Velcro shoes when I was little, but once I got to be in 2nd or 3rd grade, I wasn't allowed to have them anymore as my parents felt I needed to learn to tie shoes. For me, it was a frustrating experience learning I remember.
The only shoes that I own that have laces are sneakers, but I do like lace less footwear best. If I am not in the mood to lace shoes, I'll wear my cowboy boots. During the warmer months, outside of work I will wear my Adidas slide sandals or this leather pair I have.
