Besides the shoes being a lot faster and easier to close with these, I can wear the ties at the really comfortable level of fast enough but not too tight. And that is a particular problem with manually and normally tied shoe laces, unless one resorts to drastic knot combinations of some sort.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/images\/shoes1.jpg\" alt=\"shoes1\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1369\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/images\/shoes2.jpg\" alt=\"shoes2\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Buy here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B007DLVLDY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B007DLVLDY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=n3hczl1tsl3pm-20&amp;linkId=ae0d0ef19a43f73a14cd370e3cd88d4a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LOCK LACES (Elastic Shoelace and Fastening System) (Black)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/B007DLVLDY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=ux78u76dz-21&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=6742&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B007DLVLDY&amp;linkId=7d32bb45a0469d57f795ada6fa8a4e60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AMAZON.DE Lock Laces<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=swisswuff\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-size=\"large\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course we can tie our shoes in any such way (all resulting in the same): using one hand and stump\u00a0(again) (learn how to do it) using a prosthetic hook using a prosthetic hand even using a &#8220;&#8221;bionic&#8221;&#8221; hand But then, trying these options falls short of really resulting in a good walking experience for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98,142,141,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-activities-of-daily-living","category-getting-dressed","category-shoes","category-worldmods","wpcat-98-id","wpcat-142-id","wpcat-141-id","wpcat-9-id"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 13:07:23","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1587"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11942,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1587\/revisions\/11942"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
