Shoe laces

[jimoshel]

Why is it we can send a man to the moon but can't invent shoe laces that don't break when you're in a hurry to get dressed?

why has technology changed so much but yet we still tie shoes like they did in 3000bc?

I once had a pair of boot laces with a kevlar core. They didn't break, but eventally the polyester(?) sheath over them wore through and the bare kevlar didn't much care for holding knots, so I went back to cheaper "normal" laces.

Can't wear "slip ons" Need something that will stay on my feet when I step in a pile cow poo.

One word ...

 

Velcro

 

Works for my little girl, and they last as long as the shoe. Besides, if cow crap is the worry, looks ain't a concern.

 

Personally I grew up wearing gumboots on the farm, no need for laces. But you already covered slip on.

I think Jim might have a problem with sinking into the sand around his place with those.  :laughin:

[HOrnbrod]

You're right Ben. These would be more suitable for Jim in that sandy terrain. They will also stay put while walking through the cow piles.

WITH ALL THE COMEDIANS out of work in this country, how did two of them manage to wind up on CC?  And by the way, Her toe nails are the wrong shade for those shoes.

... And by the way, Her toe nails are the wrong shade for those shoes.

 

... but the right shade for stepping in cow $#!&!  :rotf:

Use paracord laces. They're cheap and will last a long time.
