Re: Self Lacing Trainers.
I'll sometimes spend a fair bit when buying trainers but wouldn't buy self-lacing ones.I find trainer laces can be tied in such a way that they never need untying when taken off, or tying up when put back on.
It's a matter of getting the laces to just the right tightness and then they can be slipped on and off.
A shoe horn is good if the laces are a bit tight for slipping the trainers on.

No! No! a thousand times no!Training/running shoes should always be untied when removing them and freshly tied when putting them on.
The size of feet vary from day to day and the tension of the laces must be adjusted accordingly.
Wrongly adjusted laces would seriously damage the foot after ten miles of running.......Just another gimmick to justify the exorbitant prices now charged for a 'Top of the range' shoe.
Why do people fall for this sh*t......

The trainers I buy are usually size 10 Merrells. Not the cheapest but I do a lot of walking and have found the heels last longer than the heels on less expensive trainers.
