For a long time I had them straight. Then they started to get on my nerves so I changed them back to the X's.

Anyway, you know what's funny? I usually see people with high tops chucks who would lace them criss-cross, while people who lace them straight have low tops.. Mostly...

Yea you can tighten them.. if you lace them the right way.

You can straight lace by doing criss-crosses (X's) underneath and having it straight ont he top and still tighten them... But at the same time, be able to tuck the laces in and since it will be laced above the tongue (of the shoe) as well as below the tongue, then it's almost as if it's double laced, meaning that the shoe wont loosen up. Sort of like a security guard, underneath the tongue (of the shoe).

Ugh my feet look ridiculous in Converse so I only have one pair. I do X's on all of my shoes. I don't even know how to do the straight ones. Someone teach me.

Tada.

Right now both of my pairs of Chucks are straight laced. I think I'm going to switch them back to Xs because too much is left over in the end. I have these nasty, floppy bows that I need to tuck in. D:

When I first got converses I did the straight across method. Now I just do the X method.

I hate it when you take off the laces to wash them & they're dirty from where they fold & it's hard to wash off. hammer.gif
