Out of respect for the forum and keeping things in there rightful place, thought I would move this out of 'Soops I'm Wearing Today' (paraphrasing), into its own thread.

Obviously, as you can see from this pic, I lace my kicks conventionally (alright, this is an especially crap job) and I tie a bow at the top. It worked for me when I was 5 and it works for me 30 years later.

But, to be honest, I wouldn't mind trying something new. Especially with this pair. So advice? I like the 'parallel' lace look, but don't know how to do it properly.

And what do you do with the lace ends? Tucking them into the shoes seems kinda uncomfortable.

Zwer man, you are f*cking funny! I can't believe you actually created a new thread with that title!
As for lacing, I always tie the ends together under the tongue, that way it stops them coming loose, but it also stops the tongue from doing that annoying thing where it trys to escape down one side of the shoe until it eventually gets stuck like that!

[Lorrie]

Don't the laces rub the top of your foot?

For some reason, I only have the tongue problem with ProModels and Gazelles.

[Sneakerphile]

No, don't ever have that happen. If they are left loose enough to slip on and off without stretching them, then they should be ok.
If you have any of the SS Skateboarding ones, the sock liner comes out so you can just run the excess lace under that.
Just trial and error mate, but in the end it's whats comfortable for you, and to hell with what anyone else thinks!

Bloody hell Zwer, use the friggin' search function will ya ?



Only playin' geyser.

Lacing !

[mr.pure]

As I said in that other thread, I use a mirrored overlap style with crossed over end poking finish !

[Lorrie]

Alright, I'm going in.

This is obviously more important to me than work AKA this is one hour of 'ADMIN' on the timesheet.

Is that offer still standing of the Superstar Skates on adidas.ca?

What would I need to do, just send you the cash + shipping (customs charges?) to you via paypal? PM me to discuss.


I don't get the lacing thing either if that helps.

Nice! A man with my beliefs!

I'm fortunate enough to "Telecommute" to my usual office. I have one at the HQ, But I rarely go.

Telecommute means sitting in boxers and a t-shirt with the TV on when working form my desk... doing "ADMIN"

I usually prefer the straight across lace style:

But lately I've been lacing them up a little more traditional:


**damn those pics are huge! I need to start reducing the size even more*** Sorry kids.

[Lorrie]

one down...

couldn't figure out how to lace this style with the lace locks, so I've taken them off.

yes, i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

   

[Lorrie]

nice lacing, farmer.

Alright, here we are, done.

   

[Sneakerphile]

I've been known to use the "ladder" style from time to time, but i've always found that it works better with fatter laces, like in Kings picture above. That way you don't see all the business behind.
But still, it's all your call man!

[Lorrie]

you reckon i should start over? i like this style, but i agree it's not as clean as could be with the normal thickness laces.

these laces aren't easy to keep flat. they tend to twist up, which makes things more difficult.

[Sneakerphile]

Dude, I am passing no judgement at all on your kicks. Lace as you will!
But from an astethic point of view, this style looks much better with fatties!
