But maybe with a bit more wear-in it will work, as it did with my previous shoes. I agree that bows look good on Diana. But they look loopy on me, too -- literally! &nbsp;:) </p> <p>So I <b>MUST</b> find a way to tuck. One idea that I hit on accidentally -- tie a little knot in the lace near where you want it to "stay put" once you've laced it through for tucking. It will be harder to get them off, but may stay put better when on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287677 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:19:02 +0000 Jenny H 1287677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad this question has been posted. I've been trying to tuck my laces and failing spectacularly.&nbsp;I wasn't using this technique though. My failures related to either my feet geeting irritated by the laces (which are super long since my feet are so thin) or they would come untucked as I walked. I am going to try this way and see what happens. Fingers crossed I don't have too much lace for it to work! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287597 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:51:49 +0000 Angie 1287597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, Suz. Your lace tying tales remain a mystery. I think lacing UNDER makes a difference though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Deb, nice sneaks. Re-thread the ends and tuck to shorten the laces. I think it will work.&nbsp;</p> <p>Diana, your big lace bows work with your romantic, maximal&nbsp;and eclectic style. They tend to&nbsp;look daft with my style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287589 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:47:33 +0000 Diana 1287589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never been able to do it.&nbsp; I have tried Angie's technique with my Hi-Nesses and they will not stay tight enough for my liking. Partly I am sure this is because I have skinny ankles and low-volume feet so I like my laces tied VERY tightly.&nbsp; I've just made my peace with the loopy bows.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287578 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:37:32 +0000 Suz 1287578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes look great on, Deb!! &nbsp;Are they comfy?&nbsp;</p> <p>I use Angie's technique with my Cons. But with my new ones, for some reason, the laces <b>WILL NOT</b> stay put. I can't see why. Come to think of it, this happened with my previous Cons for the first six to eight wears, and then stopped happening. When I walk, the laces just come loose and start falling out! It may have stopped after I washed them the first time. Hmmmm....Need to ponder that.&nbsp;</p> <p>One reason might be the direction of the lacing. I think I laced from <b>UNDER</b> the hole when I re-laced after washing. So the last one (the tuck) was the only <b>OVER</b> lace through. If that makes any kind of sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287569 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:28:25 +0000 deb 1287569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the problem is my laces are too long. I think it would work and be more comfortable if they were shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287567 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:21:29 +0000 Angie 1287567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes like this, which works well with Converse type sneaks:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/06/how-to-snug-and-tidy-untied-laces/">http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/.....ied-laces/</a></p> <p>But my new Propets are laced a little differently at the top because the eyelets won't allow a second thread through of the lace (hole&nbsp;is too small). So I just fold each end of the lace&nbsp;neatly&nbsp;and tuck them away by the tongue of the shoe so that it does not rub my feet. It takes a while - you have to be patient to create the look and make sure it's comfy. I am<i> just</i> the pedantic person to fiddle with that part of it until it's right though. Those details are very important to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all---how-do-you-tuck-sneaker-laces#post-1287562 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:12:26 +0000 deb 1287562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may be a dumb question but how does everyone tuck their sneaker laces. I tried tucking them into the side and find they are too uncomfortable. </p>
