I still miss velcro sneakers. I also miss the days when having velcro sneakers was considered cool.
@GaryPoole They were cool? Where was that? The nursing home or a parallel universe?
I collect Converse High Tops. Wearing them was no problem when I was younger, but these days when I bend over to lace them up, velcro would def be cool. 🤣
They still feel great once they're on. And All Stars are absolutely cool in all circumstances no matter how they close. I'm taking a stand on this one and I'm taking it in these:
@BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole I love em but I can't wear them, same with Van's they hurt me.
I'm sorry to hear that. Genuinely.
@BrazenlyLiberal @MidnightRider @GaryPoole I need lots of padding or something these days.
@BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole It's way worse than that but everyone will discover it themselves as they age, I'm not going to be like every old patient I had and make a list! 😂
@BrazenlyLiberal @GaryPoole All Stars felt like slippers in my teens, but in old age it's clear they never were. Velcro makes sense for ease of wear, but I don't think it was ever "cool" except maybe to healthcare workers charged with assisting patients.
