Or is there anybody else out there who has to relace every new pair of shoes. The stupid shoe shops all have one long side and the other threaded over and over. What's wrong with crossing both over till you get to the top.
Its enough to drive a real man into wearing loafers.
Answers quietly please, I am still a bit delicate from last night.
My husband gets quite cross about this too! ;D
Oh, you're on about the laces ???
The way with one long bit and the other side looped through, means you get straight laces across the front of your shoe/trainer - it's "cool" that way apparently ;) ;D
Plimsolls. It's the way forward.
I disagree sandles are the way to go

I have had 3 pairs of the above ( in various colour combos ) in 12 years!! and the 3rd pair is only 3 months old. I have gardened, mountin climbed and walked up glasiers in these. The most comfortable pair of shoes i have ever owned.
I have also bought Rohda court shoes which are still going strong :-)

Are your American 'loafers' what we call slip-ons?
The evenings rejoicings bring the morning's reflections.

Yep, that's the ones. Usually worn by those that bat for the other side.
Hence the expression 'He's a bit light on the loafers'
I can guarantee you won't have this issue with stilletos ... could be the way to go ;)

With or without ya woolly socks on, ::) I don't think ya can go wrong with flipflops the ones with steel toecaps are just right for the garden. ;D
i,ll join "i hate they do those laces club" but then i hate to be thought of as cool anyway i love flipflops but not for driving i keep looking at crocs perhaps when they go out of fashion ;D got a pair of those gardening clogs which i call my farters cuz thats the noise they make when i walk in them (honest it is the clogs
