When I pick out clothing pieces, I try to find ones that don’t sacrifice comfort for style. I don’t wear heels unless the occasion calls for it and I don’t really wear flats. More often than not I wear sneakers. They’re comfortable and you can dress them up or down. However, there is one type of sneaker that people may have forgotten, ones with velcro straps. I think it’s time that we give them their moment because there are some advantages we can gain from wearing a pair.

Has this ever happened to you? You’re just casually walking and then suddenly trip over your laces or you’re standing on an escalator only to fall over because your laces got stuck in the steps. Well, these have happened to me. I do still wear sneakers with laces but why not try ones with velcro closure? They’re just as comfortable and they save you some time getting ready too.

No, these are not like the velcro shoes you wore back in grade school, these are given an adult upgrade. Don’t believe me? Check out the list below and see for yourself.
