Re: Velcro Straps - Love or Hate!

@Kachina624   Although I have never bought shoes with Velcro,

                       I have never thought of the fur factor in wearing

                       them.

 

                        I have a very fluffy Maine Coon and her fur is

                        everywhere.

 

                        If I ever were to wear any shoes with Velcro, I

                        would look like I had "fluffy slippers" like my

                        cat has.

Re: Velcro Straps - Love or Hate!

i hate velcro on any shoes for adults unless they are unable to fasten their shoes due to age or disability. I think of nursing homes or cheap, donated shoes.

I am in desperate need for some wedge espadrilles with a strap and everything thing has velcro! I need a lower heel wedge so that means you need velcro? Guess I am definitely a geriatric shoe shopper. BTW, the TSV is heinous in my opinion. I wouldn't wear it if they were giving them away.

Hate. I must have small ankles because the strap always hangs wayyy out past the shoe and sticks out. Not good.

I love them on my Alegria sandals.  Fix them once, perfect fit and never see the Velcro,  I have a pair of Vionics that have Velcro, it curls and does not stay attached.  The back strap.  Those are ready for the donate pile. Sandals should be easy!

Not a love or hate thing for me.  With sandals, they are good for pedicures.

 

If I like the shoe, it won't determine whether I buy or not, but the adjustability is welcome for my difficult feet.  I recently bought these sandals, and they are gorgeous and comfortable and the velcro makes them so wearable, accommodating non-cookie cutter feet:

With Fly London the velcro is on the back of the buckle so it's invisable.  I like that the buckle holes don't get that stretched look.

I'm neutral. My Ecco sandals have Velcro straps. But I prefer my sneakers with laces.

Re: Velcro Straps - Love or Hate!

I like the velcro straps - especially if the shoe has an ankle strap. I'm unable to twist myself into the right position to fasten a buckle these days. Very annoying from my point of view and I've tried all kinds of things - put my foot on a chair, sit down on the steps, etc.  You get it and for whatever reason I get a cramp in my hip and that's it.  I know I know TMI but with velcro, one second and I'm done!
