Dude, I’m retired and have no idea how much time is left. No one is paying me to tie a pair of shoes. So it’s down to velcro river sandals (with socks When there is snow about) or buckled ski boots. Anything else is a waste of my time. YMMV.
Same here. Anyone who disses someone for not wearing lace-up leather shoes is suffering from an overdose of self-esteem.
