One-handed shoelaces v1

The challenge

Some people have a disability in one hand and still want to wear shoes with laces that look as ordinary as possible.

Who it helps

People who want to tie shoelaces using one hand

How it works

Because it allows for wearing a shoe with one hand

Using a button and a small stretchy loop, we can make a closure that is close to the leg.

Tools needed

Measurement tool

scissors
