It is unlikely that anyone will dispute the convenience of shoes equipped with Velcro.

Thanks to this, dare we say it, "achievement" of mankind, you no longer have to fiddle with laces or tug at the tongue of a stuck zipper. The boots fit like a glove.

Perhaps the combination of the above qualities helped Velcro shoes gain popularity, especially among children.

However, with regular wear, many owners of such products complain that the fasteners have lost their ability to stick.

Because of this, shoes begin to constantly unfasten, which not only looks untidy, but is also quite unsafe.

You don’t want to buy a new pair at all, because often sneakers or other shoes look quite decent.

In such a situation, the secret with matches will come in handy, which will instantly return the Velcro to its lost properties.

All you need to do is light a match and heat the Velcro with it. The main thing is not to overheat it, and after just a few seconds, the Velcro shoes will be in use again.
