Oh, well that's awesome. Now I just have to go spend hundreds of fucking dollars for them. Damn it. I can't afford that shit.
So you guys use fat laces. You lace them loosely. You lace them up to the second hole from the top, or to the top. And you typically don't tie them.
You don't have any problems with creasing or flopping? Or is it that you change them so frequently that there isn't time for those things to happen?
As it is, I am on a budget. I have one pair of supes in my posession, and I had another pair but I am sending them back. They were the black canvas LTOs with black stripes, white mid sole and black canvas toe box. I am trading them for the white ones with black stripes that have graffiti stuff on the side. I'm really excited.
Are there any other models that have the elastic strap inside?
Any crucial tips or tricks I could use to reduce crease/flop issues? I already walk really funny as to not bend my foot when I walk. I noticed anyone who wears nice sneakers walk like that.

Ultrastars with shells and elastic straps too, if that's your thing.
Wait wait wait. Hold on one second. You're telling me all ultrastars have a shell toe aaaand straps under the tongue?!!! What the fuck?!! I learn something awesome from this website daily. Is there an ultrastar IS?

K, I just googled "taking the piss" and I am still confused. According to wikipedia, there are multiple meanings to that expression.
Yes, I am a stupid american.

Can't work out if you are kosher or not Trev, but you are cheeering me up today. So I'm going to thankyou. It will be your first and probably not justified in the sense for which it was created. Nonetheless you are keeping me interested in this thread. Keep it up.
Not sure there is an Ultrastarsdb.com

I lace mine all the way to the top then take the excess, pass it across the shoe and out the other side of the hole.
You get left with an inch and a half, maybe two, sticking out.
Simples!

You can lace them till the third eyelet. Then the tongue between it and than use the fifth and sixth eyelet under the tongue.

I think, when you lace `m like this, the tongue is in "RUN DMC-style" but the shoe will fit right.
Maybe it sucks, but you can give it a try.

ooh, I like that idea. Are your laces 54 inches? I have been trying to figure out how to achieve that look! Thank you! I will be able to digitally thank you when I get to my computer.
Also, do they make ultrastar in an interchangeable stripe model or is that strictly a superstar thing? I really like that idea but can't find any in my sice in any colorway.

I was strictly a UK10.5 in soops until I started using phat laces and not tieing them as tight, they felt a little bit loose, so went down to UK10 and it's a perfect fit now (for SS1s/2s).
Not sure if that helps but hey, I like to join in.
