Velcro Shoes

When you think Velcro shoes you almost automatically think of either senior citizen shoes or shoes for toddlers. Velcro shoes are no longer made just for grandparents and children, there are plenty of fashionable styles out there to rock with your wardrobe staples. The styles of Velcros shoes have changed rapidly over the years where they have gone from a fashionista's nightmare to a style pick must have.

Velcro was invented back in 1941 by George de Mestral. Velcro fabric essentially works by two pieces of fabrics having two different surfaces, one being a hook and the other piece a loop. The ingenuity of this invention means that when the two pieces of fabrics come together they form a easy fastening. Another great benifit of Velcro is that is incredibly strong, It is said that a 2 inch square can hold 79kg.

There is always that morning when you’re running slightly late and every single thing you do seems to take an exceptionally longer amount of time to do. Your shoes are always the last thing to go on and it’s as though one can’t anticipate the fact if you choose to put on a pair of Giuseppe Zanttoni ‘s boots with fifty buckles, it will literally add on a good five to ten minutes of your getting time ready, which is never ideal when you are running slightly late. With Velcro shoes you have the advantage of wearing a pair of shoes that you can slip on with ease because you don't have the long winded kerfuffle of doing up laces or buckles, without compromising on style.
