Velcro is fine. It shouldn’t just be for kids shoes: shoelaces are like ties: a pointless time waster we should have ditched as soon as we invented velcro.
I got the velcro on my motorbike boots replaced at a shoe repair shop, a whole €12 to get another couple of years use out of them seemed likes bargain. New boots like them are €150 at least
Not that it doesnt but it takes way more time. And velcro usually stops wirking due to fur and dust getting suck on the spiky side and its easyer to replace laces. But i still like velcro since its easyer to whear.

Velcro doesn’t do well with pulling forces over a long period of time, and it doesn’t do well with dirt and dust. We would all be adjusting our velcro all the time. Also shoelaces are easier to replace, and can be used to apply pressure to multiple parts of a shoe much easier than velcro. Think about shoes like converse or docs where they need to be held upwards and along the foot and leg shape, it would be very hard and annoying for velcro to do the same.

Laces wear out over time too. Also, nicer velcro is sold, though I have no idea if it lasts longer.

Laces do stop working after a while, and that’s why you can buy replacements.
I see zero reason you can’t have strong mountpoints for the velcro, and have replaceable velcro ‘laces’
