It's hard not to get behind what is essentially the adult version of velcro shoes. Who needs laces? These metal shoe closures provide a clean, no-muss no-fuss look for your sneaks, neatly attaching to your laces and securing them with magnets. They also double as a unique shoe storage solution, since you can just stick 'em to any metal surface. See mom? We finally cleaned our room.
