Like I even have to sell you on velcro
For all the teaching they do in kindergarten about how to tie your shoes (the squirrel goes around the tree, then under it here and through...) it's funny that they never really told you how to take them off.
Sure, it's not a particularly hard thing, but sometimes if you pull too quickly on the wrong shoelace you've got yourself a tighter knot than what you started with.
Last night I had things laced up nicely and I pulled wrong, and I'm still working to untangle a very painful knot. And I'm finding out with sore, impatient fingers that the things that hurt the most in life aren't the unraveling of relationships but the realization you don't know how to untie yourself from the things you love.

even if they don't love you in return? wait, that's just me.
High tops do have those familiar, threadbare laces that knot easily and are tough on the fingers.
But I'd like to point out that boxing gloves have velcro. And you have been known to wear both simultaneously.
