So, escapees, what's your opinion on velcro?

[redeemer09]

it makes a funny sound :3

 

[FernandoV]

Yea, nothing more makes me take a person seriously than something meant for children who don't understand the simple concept of shoe tying. Get real shoes.

 

[Wolf-AUS]

Velcro is acceptable on shoes only if one of these criteria are met; A child, mentally impaired, an amputee, or on sandals. Other use your damn laces.

On a more serious note, I dont really care what you tie your shoes with, sure I can see the childish connotations attached to velcro wearers and if someone rocked up to an interview in a suit with Velcro attached to their business shoes I'd probably think they're a bit touched, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

P.S I apologise if any words seem massively out of place, but im on my phone so without a doubt it autocorrected something it shouldn't have.

It doesn't belong on the ACU's the army wears and wallets. Other than that I am neutral to the stuff

To quote Lynn Stone: "Velcro. Next to the Walkman and tab it is the coolest invention of the 20th century! "

 

[Brandon237]

I guess it's seen as baby's first shoe so like games and cartoons which tend to be associated with children it gets a bad wrap when worn by older people.

I don't see a problem.

Also please all escapists the collective term for us is Escapists.

I know that the term is escapist, but I was trying to mix it up a bit, y'know?

Uh... I used Escapees[sup]tm[/sup] in a very big, popular thread in the last two weeks... It gets lots of Flak, and it was my idea Gimme royalties!

I have velcro takkies for dirtier work, they are convenient.

 

[tokae]

Oh, I guess it could be because velcro is identified witrh light-up firetruck shoes, but that could be changed!

Why would anyone want to change that? That's awesome!

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Velcro is pretty cool. But laces are cooler.

 

[Flames66]

There's a stigma? I wear velcro shoes because I can't be bothered with laces most of the time, unfortunately I walked through the bottom of my nice velcro shoes a few weeks ago so I'm stuck with laces at the moment.

I'll never understand people who wear shoes until they're broken. That's insane, looks lazy and is embarrassing.

 

[Phisi]

is it still an adults shoe or does it look like a giant child's shoe? that may be the reason instead of the fact that they are Velcro. Anyway I prefer laces. I don't tie them I just tuck them in but I don't have any horrible ripping sounds and if I want the shoes on tight then I can tighten them and tie them... then tuck the loops in so they don't come undone . That is the only draw-back with laces. Oh and for my school shoes I have tied the ends of the laces together and I just stand on them in the shoe. They just become slippers

 

[Smooth Operator]

It's magic and I don't understand it, therefor I hate it!
Personally the sound is just nails in my ears, it's a ***** to clean and there is that whole childrens clothing stigma to it... if you want to get laid you better not be wearing any velcro.

If I like a pair of shoes, I'm going to get all the use I can out of them.

The only reason somebody should do that is because they can't afford it, and in that case I still find myself fully justified in mocking them.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Ugh, Velcro is such a rip-off!

I can afford new shoes, but why would I when I have a perfectly good pair that is just getting a bit worn? If you want to mock me for that, that is up to you. I will respond by pointing out the hole if your wallet from buying all those new pairs of shoes.
