If you disagree, then go ahead and don’t grab a batch of time-saving once-and-done Laceez No Tie Shoelaces. These long, stretchy Lycra-and-nylon-blend shoe laces can be swapped out with traditional laces on any pair of laced shoes, turning the shoes into quick and easy pull-ons.

Someone still has to do the initial lace-up, but once through the top eyelets, the laces’ rigid T-bar end pieces lock in place against the holes (either on the external or internal side), with no need to tie a bow (unless you really want to).
