Smart Cookie = Funny Shoelaces

So some brainiac who wanted to race triathlons and/or adventure racing tried to work out how to take their running shoes on and off as quickly as possible. They soon realised that it was the whole "tying-of-the-shoelace" regime that was slowing them down. So what does the brainiac athlete do? Invents shoelaces that allows them to put the shoes on and pull them off as quickly as possible and with as little effort as possible.

[Exhibit A] See top of laces - no tying required. You put a "tie" at the end of the shoe lace and it is actually the linking of the top of the laces and the bottom of the laces [see Exhibit B] that tightens the shoes. [Exhibit C] is just an excuse to show off my sexy leg. he he he

It looks as though the tie at the top and at the bottom give a better fit. Is that what is creating the look of the wide toe box? Love the wide toe box...I need this!
