Shoelaces

As an intro, I have struggled with shoelaces for my whole life, though at around 12 years old I was able to learn a method to tie them up that is decent enough. I still don't like them and I avoid them as much as I can. So here some of my alternatives, and I would also like to learn from others experiences and how they deal with this problem.

Velcro: This is by far my favorite option, I don't even know why there are shoelaces if we have velcro.

Slip On: Many shoe designs can be just slip ons, this work great for me with low profile shoes but not with tall ones, like boots... I think rain boots can be good sleep ons, I have not figure out how to find Chelsea that fit just right, like it snug the feet but is easy to slide in... it is either hard to slide in and snug or, easy to slide but very lose fit... what is the deal with Chelsea?

Zipper: I am now experimenting with boots and zippers, I have found a pair of boots that does this great, except for the fact that have shoelaces on the front, and sometimes that comes undone, the zipper is on the inner side... but I can definitely see the potential on zippers, if I can get me one with not shoelaces or just tie up the laces in a way that they don't come undone again...

In my research I have also find out that there are clip on laces that you don't tie up but click together, I have never experimented with this, but I think they can be great for something like converses, on the sense that shoes like this are tall so they cant be slip on, I have not really find a true Velcro nice looking ones, and the so... for this kind of shoes maybe this clip on laces can be a good option, but I have never experiment with them before.
