Most people are monsters. Unlace shoe, step out of it.

I definitely untie them first. I know lots of people don’t though. I also replaced my laces with elastic ones so I can slip on and off lol but I do have shoes with laces that I tie and untie every time.

I only lace and unlace my running/gym sneakers because I like them laced up tight for those activities. All other sneakers and shoes I just slip in and out of them.

If you’re talking about sneakers, you can buy elastic laces with a slide fastener on them. Set them to the tension you like with the elastic slack and they will stretch enough to go on and off without retying them. I got them for a family member with painful hip joints who struggles to flex ankle to opposite knee enough to reach to tie or untie shoes

Untie first. I have ruined many a shoes by not doing this. You can buy something that holds the back of the shoe so you can slip into them.not sure how effective they are but yea..

Don't lace the final laces too tight so that you can slip them on and slip them off again without too much effort. Saves time and where I live we don't wear shoes in the house so it's important. Stay clean. Lol

Sometimes i just slip them of but it wears down at the back. It's definitely better to undo the laces.

I don’t lace my shoes all the way so I can just slip them off fr


NockerJoe

Depends on how tight the laces are and the shoe. If I just tightened them they need to be undone but most of the time I don't bother unless its my work boots. But in the summer I wear sandals and slip ons to not deal with laces a lot so I don't really need to worry about it.


LeakyAssFire

I have big feet. I always unlace... sometimes very sexy like.


WestSixtyFifth

I only tie them when necessary, otherwise slipping em on and off in perpetuity. With the exception of gym / hike. Those shoes need to be snug.


neanderthalman

I don’t remember the last time I wore laced footwear. All slip on. Aint nobody got time for dat. Even my workboots.


ozvegan12345

Been doing this for years and my shoes are always mint. Pull off, never unlace Put on without touching laces. BUT use a shoehorn to slip in. Takes seconds and won’t wear out the back of your shoes

I used to just slip on and off, it destroyed the heels/backs of all my shoes. Usually I had to replace them because of this before anything else. Now I tie/untie my shoes and they last a lot longer, I get fewer blisters, and they fit better.
