How to lace converse

Have you ever found yourself staring at a pair of Converse shoes, ready to head out but unsure about how to lace them? Perhaps you’ve recently bought a fresh pair of Chucks and want to ensure you’re styling them just right, or maybe you’re looking for a way to make your trusty old sneakers more comfortable. Whether you’re prepping for a casual day out or wanting to add a unique flair to your footwear, the way you lace your Converse can make all the difference in both looks and fit.

To lace Converse, start by threading the laces through the bottom eyelets from the outside in, then alternate weaving the laces up through the eyelets in a crisscross pattern.

Lacing Converse shoes is not only about functionality but also about style. To begin, take the laces and start at the bottom–the first pair of eyelets. Insert each end of the lace through the bottom eyelets from the outside in; you’ll see the lace ends emerge from the inside of the shoe. Next, take the lace from the right side and cross it over to the left eyelet above. Then, take the left lace and insert it into the right eyelet above the one you just laced, continuing this crisscross pattern all the way up the shoe.

If you’d like to achieve a specific look, you can also experiment with different lacing techniques–like straight lacing or the ladder lacing method. Each method offers a unique aesthetic while providing a snug fit. Once you’ve reached the top eyelet, tie your laces in a knot to ensure they stay secure. Additionally, if your Converse have the option for an ankle strap, consider how you might want to lace it through the additional eyelet for added support or style. Remember, the way you lace your shoes can reflect your personal style, so feel free to get creative!
