I don’t have any special needs that would require this product however I have personal preferences that absolutely make me want this.

I love barefoot shoes (wide thin shoes) and they’re all lace-ups but it’s such a pain having to tie and untie them when I’m going in and out of the house throughout the day.

This product is stylish and would let me convert my favourite shoes into effectively slip-ons.

While I won’t purchase a I don’t want to take stock away from those who need them (since one would have to purchase 5-10 for all their shoes), please consider that there are plenty of people who would just love this for the convenience alone (and perhaps add other marketing landing pages for this contest).

This product is made for everybody. It just happens to be helpful to those who might have trouble tying laces. That's why I mention it here.

So if you like it, go for it 🙂
