Reddit mentions: The best sports fan footwear

I'm almost 23 and I never learned to tie my shoes because I was born with an upper limb amputation. Honestly it used to really upset me when I couldn't tie my shoes and others could. Honestly, though? I only have one singular pair of shoes that even HAVE laces, and they zip up the side. As an adult I stopped wearing standard tennis shoes and switched to slip on ones with elastic straps that don't tie but look classy. I started wearing more boots, dress flats, and so on.

That being said, you've got several options.

1. There are such things as no tie laces. To the untrained eye they look exactly like normal laces and you wouldn't know any different.
   
   There are these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0186Z5QAO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_glfjDbHS5T5G1
   
   These: https://storesixty.com/products/easylace-no-tie-elastic-shoelaces
   
   And so many others. There are magnetic options, ones that pull to tighten, etc. Back when I was a kid they were uncommon so I didn't use them but these days they are super popular, heavily marketed, and extremely common in athletic markets.
   
   
2. You can get sneakers like mine that look like they are laced but are actually elastic.
   
   Like this: https://m.shoes.com/skechers-dynamight-break-through-bungee-lace-sneaker/829911/1816605
   
   And this: https://m.shoes.com/florsheim-edge-3-eye-oxford/844999/1865161
   
   There are tons of styles and choices.
   
   
3. You can look into resources aimed at adults to teach you. One thing to understand is that you are not alone in this dilemma. MANY people actually have this problem, in fact some things like Dyslexia can actually cause difficulty in learning to tie shoes. You can find sources online that are much more adult friendly and not childish and patronizing by searching for sources geared toward stroke victims, surgery rehab, dyslexia, etc. Don't get stuck on just one method of tying them. The bunny method works for some and not others and the same goes for other methods. Just find what works for you.

Regarding tying your shoes. If it is something you'd like to continue to do, awesome, but if not, I'd like to recommend something I use now that's made my life easier.

Those are No Tie Shoelaces. If you want or have a friend to help you out, I think it'll make a huge difference for you. May have to work on the proper size of the shoelaces for which ever foot/shoe but I slip my shoes on in 2 seconds and they are comfortably snug to my feet so they never feel like they are going to come off.

i've seen some nice fits with palladiums. they aren't leather, but might fit in with the tropical/jungle vibe, plus they aren't too pricey and get great reviews. +points for safari hat too.
i also really like these timberland earthkeepers
and the 6" chippewas look cool and are well made for sub-150 boots.

I got them from amazon in the darker brown color and I love them. I bought them in the fall and wore them all winter and they have held up very nicely. Very comfortable as well.

My Timberland Earthkeepers Rugged Boot have served me well. Nice, thick vibram sole. Also lightweight enough that I used it for a 2 week backpacking trek around the UK and Ireland. I dabbled with the Iron Rangers, but didn't like the cork sole for winter use. I then bought the Brooks Brothers Iron Rangers 4556 w/ Vibram sole, but honestly, the Timberland suits me more aesthetically (slimmer toe-box mainly) and is a lighter boot. As for durability, it's been a year and they're great (so far). I would say get a coupon code from Amazon and purchase them here: http://www.amazon.com/Timberland-Mens-Earthkeepers-Rugged-Brown/dp/B004L3DIYM/ref=sr_1_1?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1381687963&sr=1-1&keywords=timberland+earthkeepers+rugged

Also, I've got the Iron Rangers 4556 via Brooks Brothers in 'Antique Brown' w/ thick vibram sole in a 10D for sale. Originally $400 - asking $325 shipped, including paypal fees.

Same seller has some random separate listings like these optic whites in US 9. $25 shipped and free returns. Really great deal.

Found them for you!

I am not from Liverpool but I studied at LJMU and as such feel loyalty to Liverpool but until then I always knew that as the Celtic song, plus I am more into rugby :P

If I am allowed to enter anyway red and white chucks?

Cool contest tho

You can usually find Chuck Taylors pretty cheap. Same desired look and a much better shoe.

I put these rubber laces on all my shoes. I can't go back now. They slip on and off, but still stay snug when they are on. It's great.

I believe there are magic bag slippers. Not something to walk around in all the time but good to warm them up. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Bag-Heatable-Slippers-Small/dp/B009Z7F64O

Timberland Earthkeepers. I wear them pretty much every day now it's cold all the time. Best shoes I've ever owned, so comfy now they're worn in.

For my first pregnancy I bought something like these for my current runners.

Worked well for me although occasionally the tongue didn't cooperate.

I have these and I really like them.

I just got a pair of these

They've been great in the snow so far. It's been sub zero temperatures where I'm at and my feet have been dry and warm. I've had docs in the snow before and they didn't hold heat at all. The tread sucks in the snow as well.

I can’t find the same ones, but here’s some that are similar/styles I think you might like!

I don't know if you've already seen this or not, but I came across these the other day while I was looking for a way to deal with shoelaces that were too long and unsightly. They turn any shoes into slip-on shoes and don't look very different from normal laces. Might help?

I agree. Get either of these. Will surprise you!

I did some more searching and I really like Timberland Earthkeepers. Thinking about These or These

What do you guys think?

I've had these for a bit now and they are my favorite daily drivers I've ever had. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I4CH03K/

Was about to say just this. $100 is about the bare minimum, sale or otherwise, that you'll want to spend if you want something that will last more than a month or so.

As for that style specifically, Amazon has Timberland Earthkeepers on sale for about $104 right now here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000YDE46Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1382277561&sr=1-5&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

Might be able to stack the sale if you sign up for the amazon shoe email list and use the 20% off code they give you.

I recommend these

Yeah but we have crocs, so we win.

Vê produtos que estejam marcados como "gestionados e enviados" pela Amazon. Eu tenho prime e nos produtos assinalados tenho portes grátis para Espanha. Ao mudar para Portugal vejo uma promoçao de entrega aplicada.

Vê este exemplo: https://i.imgur.com/RB4KmTR.png

Estas sapatilhas da Converse compradas na Amazon.es custam para um cliente Amazon Prime: € 63.12, com portes grátis.

No entanto, esse mesmo cliente se mudar a morada de entrega para Portugal pode comprá-las por:

• €64,11 com entrega expresso (desconto de €5)
  
  
• €58,12 com entrega normal (desconto de €8.99)
  
  Fica mais barato para um cliente mandar entregar em Portugal que em Espanha e com Prime. Este é só um exemplo.

So, I’m just lazy and don’t like to tie my shoes. I found these a year or two ago. Now all my shoes are slip ons.
