Converse sneakers
are a popular canvas sneaker with a rubber toe, sole and bold shoelace pattern. They were first manufactured in 1914 and were quickly made popular by basketball player Chuck Taylor; so popular, in fact, that they were actually called "chucks" after him. Lacing Converse sneakers varies depending on your personal style, but they are typically laced with bold, wide laces in a traditional crossover pattern. You must learn lace Converses properly, or you can wind up with twisted, uneven shoestrings when you are finished. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Count the number of holes in your converse sneakers. The number of holes will determine the length of shoelace you need. If your shoes have seven eyelets, buy a pair of laces that are 45 inches long. For 8 pairs of eyelets, you will need 54-inch long laces, and for 9 pairs of eyelets, you will need 63 \-inch laces.
2. Center the tongue of the shoe, and make sure it is free of any creases. Insert one end of the laces downward into the left eyelet, and then insert the other end of the lace downward into the right eyelet. Pull the laces tight so that the lace forms a straight line across the two eyelets, and then adjust the strings so that they are the same length.
3. Cross the right string upward through the left eyelet, and then cross the left string across the right string and up through the right eyelet. Pull the strings tight, because the strings through the second eyelet will help keep the tongue in place.
4. Continue crossing the laces back and forth as you move up the shoe, forming "X's" between each eyelet pair. Pull the laces through the top eyelet, and then tie them in a bow or tuck them into the sides of the shoe.
