Kyle's Invention

For school, Kyle had to make an invention.  This took a lot of thought, but we finally came up with something he could invent that also was useful to him. 
Kyle hates to tie his shoes! The way he gets around this chore is to just leave them tied and slip his foot inside everyday.  The problem with this is his shoes are loose so the back sole of his shoe wears out faster than it should because he drags it.  So, he came up with this invention! 
Underneath the button thingy is a zip cord tie.  You find them often on the end of your coat strands.  He just cinches up his shoe laces.  Then, the part that this covering the laces is a Velcro pocket that is attached to his laces with brads and that he just tucks his excess laces into them. 
 He decided to decorate them with his favorite football team logo.  It was his invention for school, but he uses it.  They are actually very useful and I'm thinking of making some for Trey!

Hmmm...sounds complicated...but very clever! Is it really faster than tying your shoes?

Love it. The only thing missing from those shoes are a 49er flag and those things will be fit for uncle TJ :)
