This is why I switched to only wearing sneakers that don't have laces. The fact that there's a whole site dedicated to tying your shoes properly tells you everything you need to know and yet this is largely a solved problem. You might think I look childish wearing velco/slip-on shoes all the time but I get a lot of compliments on my Adidas and my Metcons.

And Velcro has another advantage: you can tighten any segment of the shoe quickly. I really ought to use it.

Similarly: half of the top 10 most-voted questions on StackOverflow are about Git.
I too prefer this approach tbh. Since a few years I've only used shoes or sneakers with no laces. At the beginning I though that I was going to have problems with it, but all has been good.

This, though I recommend merril's or a generic brand that does the same kind of outdoorsy slip on.
I just leave my sneakers tied and use a shoe horn. Super fast and doesn't destroy the heel tab.
I do the same, don't even need a shoe horn, and my heel tabs hold up just fine.
Seriously, who has time to tie their shoelaces everytime they put on their shoes?
that's why I sleep with my shoes on

You can also wear a fleece everywhere. It's light and comfortable. But it just doesn't look as good and people will judge you differently for it in some contexts.
Clothing is just as much about comfort as it is about impressions.

Shoelaces can be done without using plastic. Plastic-free velcro seems at least unlikely.
