Velcro is a nice technology, but deployed less than I would expect. For example, the ancient technology of laces still dominates shoes.
Is it purely because velcro is not considered classy? But the prohibition seems to universal to fashion across all classes.
Velcro is a more accessible technology, usable with one hand, requiring less fine motor control than laces.

Probably partly that it seems less classy.
But also because it sometimes wears out over time, and changing it for new velcro requires sewing, so is harder than changing laces.
