How are your shoes laced? My zapatos chicagos are laced with the straight bar, but my exercise shoes are the typical criss-cross. I once had one-handed laced shoes.

I'm trying to re-learn the one-handed method, so I googled and found this amazing site. :D Ian's Shoelace Site - Introduction (http://www.shoe-lacing.com/shoelace/index.htm)

Flip flops and boots don't require laces! And that's pretty much all I wear.

I used to have sneakers that had velcro straps on them though. They were awesome.

I use a criss-cross lace for my shoes but i dont actually tie them up properly with the loops, I just make a tight knot.

I make a loop, round, through and pull. Then take the two loops that have been created and make a normal knot with them.

I criss-cross my laces, but instead of tying them near the ankle, I reverse them to tie at the toe. It's actually kind of impressive how many people notice them...xD

I used to tie my laces behind the tongue of my shoe, so I can tuck them in. But now I have new shoes that don't work like that :p

My checkered/striped Vans are above petty wastes of time like laces. I slip them on and I'm ready to go.

Bunny ears? Like Momiji, I just slip them on and don't bother tying and untying them everytime.

I can't stand not tying my shoelaces. I hate when my boots are loose. Criss-cross them.

Unless I wear my flops. Which I usually do. B]

in sixth grade, the style was to run the laces from the bottom of the tongue all the way up and t hen tie it up there. Our basketball coach hated this and told us to lacethem normally, and then our star player turned her ankle and he was vindicated.

I don't wwear many shoes I have to lace, but my tennis shoes are just laced like usual

That's actually impressive.

Not really. Mine don't even have laces. :p

I use pretty ribbons to lace up my shoes.

I usually keep mine knotted at the whoel so I can just slip them on

I wear sandals. But I lace my steel-toes up right or else the safty d00d will scorn me.

I keep them knotted up tight, but loose enough for me to slip them on and off without much hassle. My first post here and it's about how I wear my shoelaces, of all things ;)

I'm done relacing. Went with lattice, since it looked fairly simple and still less boring than regular old crisscross lacing.

I dunno. ....I do bunny ears and loop around and pull through. 8D I tie my shoes once and I'm set forever. xD I'm a shoe slipper on and off'er.
