Yes. Go laceless. I only discovered a few years ago that there is such thing as men’s close-toed shoes that can be appropriate semi-formal workwear yet never need to be tied. I wear something roughly similar to this at work: Amazon and a more casual variation in my free time. Very comfortable, loose-sneaker feel on the inside. An elastic-bound tongue ensures uniform snugness, rather than fluctuating between too tight and too loose. Once broken in, you can slide them on and off without hands, as you might with slippers or flip-flops.
But more importantly than the ergonomics… why waste time time tying shoes? Why risk injury tripping over laces, or getting them caught places?
I’m going to check out the Scholl’s shoes for women.
Meanwhile, if you happen to have lace-up shoes, there are permanent elastic laces. I agree that normal shoe laces add unnecessary work and risk to one’s life, though I still think cloth laces are better looking.

Seconded. I strongly prefer laceless because I know that my laced shoes get worn much less often because of it.
