I have a pair of beig, Converse Chuck Taylor's which I tie up by 'over under' lacing. It alternates between running over and then under. It's my own preferred method for most of my shoes & runners.



Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. The ends are crossed over underneath and emerge from the next set of eyelets up the shoe, then crossed over on top and fed into the next set of eyelets.

3. Repeat step (2) until both ends reach the top eyelets.

How do you do your laces?

That's how my chucks are tied too!

I can't tie my laces

Chuck Taylors are the only way to go, American made.

Well shoes shouldn't be a problem then!

I have very few shoes with laces. I don't think I even laced them up myself.

I only haven't learnt so I can get really young boys to practice on my feet.

I thought they practiced something completely different on yer feet.

It becomes that quite quickly.

The answers are all there.

I do. It's true.

I don't.
I always use clip-on laces.

My Mum still buys me velcro-strap shoes for the fear of her little boy tripping on his laces
