New shoes
I recently got a couple new pairs of shoes (one pair brown and one pair black) at the Mervyn’s going-out-of-business sale. I really like the shoes since they are comfortable and inexpensive. Plus, lots of people have remarked that they are stylish and I find that really amusing.
The only problem is that the shoelaces keep coming untied. Not just every so often, they actually untie themselves at least once an hour. If I lace them really tightly, I think they stay will tied. But I can’t tell, since I lose feeling in my feet and need to loosen them. It’s tough, but I guess this is the price I need to pay to have stylish shoes. :-)
Seriously though, I hope velcro shoes come back in style soon. Imagine how much time we would all save. But let’s hope the tend doesn’t go as far as having adult onesies.

While I don’t have that excuse, I’ve been living mostly shoelace-free for over three years now, outside of athletics anyway. I own three pairs (different colors/styles) of Merrell slip-ons that I wear every day; I’m wearing these right now: They might seem a little pricey for what you get, but they’re durable, very comfortable, and lacelessly convenient. I can’t speak to the stylishness, and I really don’t care… but I do notice more and more people at work wearing them recently.

I think if more people at work are wearing them, there are probably not stylish. :-)
Crissy recommended I go laceless, but I didn’t find any I liked. (Perhaps I should have looked a bit harder).
