Why aren't velcro shoes the norm? Velcro is way more fast, efficient and practical than laces. Does anyone know of any good mens shoes that are velcro not laces? But actually stylish?

They have to exist somewhere

The only reason I would ever wear velcro shoes would be if they lit up. Light up shoes are the shit.

You're right. They made me go from V3/V4 to V4/V6 problems pretty much overnight when I switched from Evolv Pontas (had holes in the toes) to the Muira. Tiny feet and nice heel hooks are so much easier to pull off now.

I thought this a while ago, and then bought velcro shoes. Never looked back.

Second pair are slippers. Laces blow (unless retro).

Solid shoe choices. I would disagree though...I don't like laces when sport climbing/bouldering/gym climbing but comfortable laced shoes are great for trad and multipitches where you'll be wearing shoes for hours.
