How to Tie your Converse high tops in a fun way

Person tying shoelaces on a black sneaker.

These 2 videos demonstrates how to tie your Converse high tops in fun, stylish ways.

For the first video, take a pair of shoes and take out the strings. Thread one string through first whole going INSIDE.

Take the other side of the same string and do it on the other side. Make sure both sides are even in length. It doesn't matter if they're crisscrossed you will fix it later.

Take the first side of the string you were working with and thread it through NOT THE NEXT HOLE but the one after that going OUTSIDE.

Take the second side of the string and take it through the first whole on the second side. take the same string and bring it over to the other side and thread it through going INSIDE. Take the opposite string and do the same thing. This is the pattern!

For the second video, you can try the checkerboard laceup look. Basically you start with the method outlined in the first video. Then you weave a differently colored shoelace through that shoelace. Once you're finished, wrap up by tying the shoelaces together as you would normally. This look is time-consuming, but the results are worth it!
