Today in Grumpy Old Woman Yells At Cloud:
Why are laces on new shoes tied totally un-useful ways? Do other people not adjust fit & tighten them in place the way I do?
Also why are laces too short to easily tie these days? Is it the pettiest cost-saving move ever, or is there some factor I'm missing? Grr. Bah. Harumph.
(NO, I can't do velcro, elastic or slip ons. I have tried on a LOT of hikers lately, & those styles failed every time.)
On the plus side, I do have new shoes, so yay?
