I don't know about you, but we here at Four Pins are all extremely lazy pieces of shit. We're not afraid to admit that. We hate anything that requires more than a modicum of effort, like the arduous process of putting on and tying your shoes. At a certain point, we all try to turn our kicks into slip-ons, which is why this Kickstarter for expandable shoelaces is actually not that bad of an idea.

As you can see in the video above, combining elastic shoe laces with an anchor that goes on the inside of the shoes allows you to turn any pair of shoes into a slip-on that takes just seconds to put on. The laces are elastic enough for anyone to slip their feet into their shoes without issue, but strong enough to use on shoes that you actually exercise in. Now, this does depend totally on your opinion about people who tuck their laces and try to make it look like they don't tie their shoes. For a while, that was a super cool thing to do, but the world of sloppy, nonchalant knots seems to have come back a little bit. Either way, it doesn't matter what the fuck you think because this campaign has already raised a shit ton of money, absolutely destroying its $10,000 goal with about $370,000 donated already. Obviously, there is a serious market for this shit. It's now up to you to decide just how lazy you actually are.
