I have never in my life tied and untied shoes every time I put them on, even though all of my shoes have laces. It takes a lot of force, but I slide into tight-ish dress shoes as well. With my hiking boots, I just pull the string over the clips. I have also known how to tie shoes decently quickly for as long as I can remember.

Slip ons only. Velcro might as well be laces. Still have to bend over or sit down.

The topic was laziest

I've got a high arch and it took a little bit to get used to not having tight laces. I had at some point found out that I had been tying my shoes too tightly for years and after the initial jarring change my feet do feel much better. The tops of my feet would get itchy because I was restricting blood flow.

I also wear boots most days and lacing boots is quite different than tying shoes and a Chelsea boot is way more comfortable.

Added benefit, when shoes need to come off, they're just off.
