Makes sense... you don't want to trip over laces while you're out on your boat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-sider-owners---laces#post-659390 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:49:54 +0000 Anonymous 659390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tie a bow and then tuck the loops and tails back under the side flaps so only the knot is visible. I like how this keeps everything tidy. I think they usually come tied like this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-sider-owners---laces#post-659383 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:37:14 +0000 rachylou 659383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm too lazy to cut - or curl, for sure. I just double knot long shoelaces. But might as well cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-sider-owners---laces#post-659381 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:31:15 +0000 rae 659381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just found a pair at the swap meet this weekend in pewter as well! My laces seemed a reasonable length - I tied in a bow and pulled the bow "loops" out until they were in equal length to the bow "tails." No part of the bow was long enough to drag this way - if it did, I would have just cut the laces a bit, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-sider-owners---laces#post-659360 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 18:00:00 +0000 modgrl 659360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine are fine, can you double knot or just cut them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-sider-owners---laces#post-659196 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:04:19 +0000 Deborah 659196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't help as no experience with this shoe. Can you buy shorter laces?</p> <p>Bumping for others to respond </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-sider-owners---laces#post-658842 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 19:00:39 +0000 christieanne 658842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Picked up the metallic Sperry TopSiders in a pewter/dark silver color yesterday in an effort to find more comfortable/non athletic shoe options for work. They are preppy for sure but the pewter makes them fun (and at this point my feet are killing me so the cute factor is very secondary). </p> <p>But- the laces are so long! If you own these, did you simply trim and do you tie in a little bow? Do you do the classic boat shoe curl tie? That would be too prep I think. </p> <p>Are these as comfortable as I think they will be? </p>
