I just thought you picked what aesthetic you like and went with it. I didn't realize that it could change the way the shoe fits...</p> <p>I would have thought that pic 2 was laced incorrectly too. It looks as if someone started lacing one way at the bottom but then forgot what they were doing and switched to a different way halfway through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sneakers-and-wrong#post-2183233 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 02:46:30 +0000 Jaime 2183233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have learned something else I didn't know I didn't know.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sneakers-and-wrong#post-2183232 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 02:42:19 +0000 N 2183232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they are "wrong" per say, just different. In the UK its common to see the straight bars across but those are even harder to tighten. I think it all depends on your style and also your foot shape. Everyone has different preferences. My current vejas came totally unlaced and I laced them up similar to your picture. They are actually a little big, maybe even up to a whole size too big (probably the style runs big) and they tightened up no problem. Stay very secure on my foot. I have very slim ankles too so need the shoe as tight as possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sneakers-and-wrong#post-2183230 Mon, 29 Mar 2021 01:42:35 +0000 shiny 2183230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! I only recently learned about lacing techniques, while searching for hiking shoes! I can't believe it took me this long!</p> <p>I am not sure what was "wrong" in your examples, Always Trying, can you explain?&nbsp; I do notice in pic one the upper laces are what I learned to do with my new hiking shoes, which were perfect elsewhere except my heel kept wanting to escape in the back.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie you need to do a post about lacing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sneakers-and-wrong#post-2183210 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 22:56:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2183210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice sneakers.

In store I wonder if this is something SAs are aware of and fix, to make things easier for clients? It doesn’t help them sell shoes if people can’t try on properly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-sneakers-and-wrong#post-2183119 Sun, 28 Mar 2021 14:46:41 +0000 always trying 2183119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Returning the others posted last week.. These are keepers.. Earth oragins..But they came laced wrong. This is the second time I have gotten sneakers laced incorrectly.&nbsp; Photo 2 is wrong-the laces can not be tightened up or loosened easily when they are laced like this.&nbsp; This is not a problem when trying them on at home, but if trying them on in store would be.&nbsp; I can re lace them, and then if I have to return them I could lace them back the way they came.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
