I switched to the secure knot after finding this site a few years ago https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

It's really excellent, my shoes never come untied and I don't have to double-knot

i find it funny that as a kid, velcro laces are used, and then as senior, they come back. but in that time in between, "adults" are wasting their time fiddling with laces. it's one of the most useless things when other solutions are available.

Loafers. Loafers are amazing.

US adults (and, to a lesser extent, those in Europe—I gather the loafer caps out a bit lower there as far as how “high up” you can dress it) can get away with wearing slip-on shoes a whole lot of the time, while also looking smarter-dressed than sneakers or what have you.

Doesn’t get you away from laces entirely, but can seriously cut down on how often you have to fiddle with them.

(Or you can come at it the other way and become a Crocs Guy, of course)
