This is going to sound like a stupid question, but why does no-one tie their shoelaces anymore? Most people I see wearing trainers seem to just tuck them into the shoes, isn't this uncomfortable?

I always tie my laces.

I went through a stage of tucking them in but it was so uncomfortable. In my view trainers are supposed to be comfy shoes! :)

I usually tie up the laces only if I can hide them.
I've always felt geeky with the laces hangin out, especially if they're done up tight...
With skate shoes I tie them up underneath the tongue, then tuck them inside. They look better that way!
But, with Doc Martins, I can't not tie them up, plus if you have funky coloured laces, they look aight hangin out :) S'all Good :)

When i wear trainers my laces are tucked in. But the ends of the laces arent on the outside ready to tie, they finish off inside the trainer, and then i just put them towards the back of the shoe. It isnt uncomfortable, i dont even feel them.

maybe they are just really lazy and dont like to go thru the hassle of tying and untying shoes all the time.

I always tie my laces. Though lately I have found that I can slip my shoes on and off without bothering. So sometimes I don't.

i tie my laces, but i don't have to untie them to take my shoes on and off.

tucking laces in is so uncomfy....
