Most of the line is not my cup of tea but I’ve found 2 pair this summer that I really like ! They are going gangbusters with the line as it’s relatively new to the Cdn market and is really popular in resort areas . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721/page/2#post-2209046 Sun, 11 Jul 2021 18:35:52 +0000 Jonesy 2209046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pairs of sneakers, with special heart eyes for the floral Vans!

To this day, I could ladder-lace a pair of shoes in my sleep.<br /> The floral Vans are adorable! And of course I love the Olukais because I never met a cognac shoe or accessory I didn’t covet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208382 Thu, 08 Jul 2021 01:29:25 +0000 rachylou 2208382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pure fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208373 Thu, 08 Jul 2021 00:38:50 +0000 Jaime 2208373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my daughter has the same or similar vans and I think she is one of the three coolest kids around . I love the second pair also. Elegant and low contrast to your leg. Really all of my favorite summer footwear is either statement and trying to get attention or low contrast with my skintone and trying to be elegant . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208366 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 23:46:16 +0000 Anonymous 2208366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - there is SO much extra lacing on these it’s crazy .

Someone once posted a link to about 50 different ways to lace one's shoes. I don't think I remember ANY of them; I would definitely have to have a reference to try Ladder Lacing.

I have trouble with a lot of laces being way too long and having excess lacing, so sometimes these special techniques can take up some extra. I may have to try this!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208338 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 22:14:50 +0000 Anonymous 2208338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The YouTube video was worth a laugh - I couldn’t understand a word this kid said , but the visual was fine . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208336 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 22:06:06 +0000 Kathie 2208336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both pairs! I’m definitely going to check out the Oloukai’s. The Soft 7’s weren’t a great fit for me. And the ladder lacing! My DH is a high school teacher. He wears Vans to school on Fridays and the kids would love it if he does this. I’m going to look for a YouTube video for him. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208332 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 21:36:01 +0000 Anonymous 2208332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla - yes . They do stay on! Obviously I’m not pounding the pavement for miles in these though . I’m not very fussy with sneakers and go barefoot with laces stuck inside etc . You can make ladder lacing as tight as you want Runs home to re- lace all shoes ….</p> <p>And to think I gave away my last pair of the plain bl/ white suede Vans because I thought I looked like a young person wannabe (aka trying too hard : our favourite term here ) I’m such an idiot sometimes . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-vans-like-the-cool-kids-also-new-olukai-sneakers-7721#post-2208330 Wed, 07 Jul 2021 21:15:28 +0000 JAileen 2208330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not cool - I love the brown ones! </p>
