You'll never see something like this happen with velcro. Velcro is the ultimate form of locking your shoe to your foot. I know it might look a little goofy, but think about all the time I save not having to tie my shoe. Over the course of my life I'll probably end up saving a whole two minutes. That's worth looking like a goon, isn't it? Plus you don't have to worry about getting stuck to an office chair. If this has ever happened to you then you know that you're going to lose a shoelace at the very least. Don't bother trying to get it out. You'll just waste an hour of your life.
Let's say you hate your job and want to screw around for an hour. Make this happen to your shoelace. You can spend an hour of work time trying to get it out. No one will notice or care because they all hate their lives just as much as you do.
