For everyday shoes yeah, I would agree. Lacing boots for example can help significantly with ankle support, so they're superior when you need a solid fit to your foot.

For lots of miles I love Velcro close over laces. If you are on your feet a lot laces are not your friend. I hate constantly having to retie them.

tie them better or replace with less slippery lace material (switching a pair of sneakers to paracord near made me crazy until i got in the habit of double knotting)

More safe? Laces allow for much better support, which helps prevent injuries.

Mostly. It's more of a pain to replace the Velcro when it wears out. Also Velcro shoes have a point that it gives out and comes apart. Plus could get caught on something and come open. That said, my 5y/o son was wearing his laced shoes the other week running in the park... Tripped, or as I like to think, attempted an impromptu flip, and managed to lose a shoe. So I guess laces don't keep them on anyway xD (He was alright, just badly grazed, and he walked it off.)

Velcro is a drunk's best friend.

Velcro makes stupid noises even when you aren't adjusting it it collects crud and dies fast when it dies it's usually sewn in so i can't just replace it with a piece of cord.
