  I rememeber from when I was a kid that Velcro would wear out and stop sticking properly after a while so it's not like Velcro shoes solve all the problems that laces have with coming undone. 
  They also look worse in my opinion and the functionality is irrelevant to me because all my shoes are either runners which I keep tied up and slip them on, or boots that have a zipper on the side anyway so I never actually spend much time tying laces. 
  If you want to wear Velcro shoes then wear Velcro shoes. You can wear whatever you want but if you're going to wear something that you know people are going to make fun of you for, then that's just something you're going to have to take. People suck and you're never going to change everyone's mind.
context: I prefer slip-ons personally. I’m quite bad with laces and I find that Velcro wears out too easily with me.
