Easy Steppin’

I had been fussing to myself for awhile how tying tennis shoes can be quite irritating because I have to often readjust the tension throughout the day, depending upon what I am doing.

Then I came across a lightly used pair which fit me perfectly and let me turn quickly, and they have just a stretchy loop with a tension clamp for quick fixing.

At first, I scoffed at the “lazy hip” fashion statement of this design, but liked their look so much that I bought them, thinking that I would replace the hoops later with laces.

However, now that I have been using them, I thrive by their quick-release-and-tighten convenience!
