Since I'm a person for economy of movement, particularly when it comes to arranging clothing, etc, I'd opt for the loafer.  No shoelace action. 

Actually the shoes I wear to work are lace-up black Eccos:

But I often treat them like loafers, sliding them on and off without tying or untying the laces.  The good thing about Eccos is that the soles are really resilient, including dealing with the constant Portland rain and wet streets.  They last forever.  I should probably check into their loafers though ...

All you non-shoelace people are my kinda people.  Y'all get it.  Life is too short to spend tying and untying shoes.

Unfortunately I can't handle much else besides sneakers (tennis shoes, whatever they're called) these days, and even that only with orthotics.

Even if my shoe has shoelaces, I still just slip them on and off.  Except for my actual running shoes, those I lace up each time but you know, since I'm exercising, I'm okay with that.

I have terrible flat feet and a short achilles tendon so laces on my shoes has always been a good thing

I need some new golf shoes

I wish it was still off season, at least for the conversation.  There’s nothing wrong with rivalry smack talk, I suppose, but it’s just not as fascinating overall.

I mean where else can we talk about men’s fashion (thanks to JCG’s brilliance) with semi-straight faces and it actually be interesting?  Seriously this was a good thread.

Just thought I’d speak up for it one time before we plunge into full on moping, gloating and hating ...

I recently saw the movie Uncle Drew and I was so impressed by Reggie Miller’s wardrobe as Lights that I’ve decided to upgrade my hats and shoes.

I figured we needed to prime the pump after the long offseason.
I must admit I’m impressed by your shoes.
So the other night I was at a high school football game and I saw a young high school aged brother wearing Addidas slides with white crew socks.
A damn fine look and he looked so comfortable too.
Now that I have tge validation of a 16 year old I think it’s time.

Glad to hear it!  I may follow if I can get the right look.  I wonder - do they make socks without toes like those gloves without fingers?  That might be a good halfway approach - keep the sweat off the bottom of the foot but leave the toes free to move about the cabin.  Hmmm.

Oh man, that's one mighty sobering photo.  Thanks FF.  You cured me of that silly thought ...
