They'd take the laces out and replace them with these short coiled laces that they didn't have to tie, essentially making them into slip-on moccasins.

Or slip-off, more accurately.

That said, I've always liked when a woman wears shoes with straps and can slip out of them without unbuckling the straps.

I would buckle them into the furthest along hole so that I wouldn’t get in trouble for having them untied but I could still easily slip in and out of them. In a lot of the rooms we had high chairs around tables so you couldn’t touch the ground when sitting on them, I liked to dangle my T-bars off my toes by the strap until they fell.

We didn't have school uniforms or a firm dress code, so girls in our classes would dress pretty much as they pleased. When they did dress nicely, it was with purpose. But shoes with buckles or straps were rare. Every girl had a pair or two of loafers, some more pointed and feminine, some more bulky and clumsy with tall blocky heels.

You say "used to," though. You can still leave your straps loose and dangle and lose your shoes outside the classroom, too.

I understand the argument with tight shoes and having to "work for it," but in my opinion seeing (and hearing) the shoes flop around when they walk or sit down is very exciting. This makes me think of when all the girls wore Sperrys. It reminds of this girl "H" that walked around all day with her socked heels slapping. In the cafeteria she would immediately just slip them off and leave her socked feet out. Those were the days.
