Shoelaces etc Forums:

User Needs Suppoort:
Hi, I'm posting to this shoelace tying forum, because I'm about to run in a race and I'm required to wear lace up Conserve shoes with a right handed loop. But I can't remember or don't know how to tie laces right handed. Since this looks like the forum for it, can anyone help me?

Someone else:
Oh yeah, what you need is some velcro man. That's what I use, it's great!

Another person:
Dang, who uses shoes still? I've been shoeless over a year! Bare feet are awesome!

The doublechecker:
Are you sure your shoes need to be tied? They might be a different kind of shoe. Or the coach might be wrong. Try tying them again a few times to be sure. Or try checking what kinds of shoes they are. Make sure that you even have shoes, too.

User Needs Support:
Um, what I wrote was that I'm required to wear Conserve, the kinds with laces. Does anyone here know how to tie shoelaces? Because the coach needs me to tie it the right way.

Adminuser support:
We only tie Mikeys, we're not affiliated with Conserve shoes. For just $234 you can have one of our support specialists come and show you how to use the Mikey's shoes shoelace tie-er. There's probably a local store near you, if you set up an appointment they can be out to you in just a few months from now. Do you have the serial number on the bottom of your Mikey's shoes?

User Needs support:
No, I don't have Mikey's shoes. I just need to know how the laces go.

Lost person:
I have green laces, and they work fine. Maybe you need some new laces, I know that green ones work great. They're the kind I've always used. I wear them everyday.

Some guy:
If you're having problems with your laces, you should try replacing them like the person above me said. Laces can wear out, and usually getting new ones solves that issue.

Good guy:
I think he just wants to know how to tie the laces. Go to this website www. some-kind-of-technical-website .com/ fakeurland/ fakepage.html and they can show you how to make a left circle. Everyone uses that, so it should work for you.

User Needs Support:
Thanks, that was helpful, but like I said I need to know the right handed loop. It's probably similiar, but I'm required to do this a certain way. I'm sure someone can show me how this is done?

Wandering troller:
Conserve shoes are stupid, nobody buys them. Mikeys have some really great pre-tied shoes you can get. I know lots of people who use those and they've never had to tie their shoes!

Knowitall:
I always buy dark shoes, and I've never had any problems with the laces. It sounds like your problem is your shoes aren't dark enough, not that the laces aren't tied. Heck, my shoes don't even have any ties!

Almost useful person:
What you can probably do is buy some pre-tied shoes, then cut the laces out and sew them into the shoes you have, some guy in his garage mumbled out something about how to do that on this document on the web: www. someguysgarage .com / mumblings/incoherent.html. I havent tried that, but a couple of people got it to work once.

Forum user:
Hey, I need to know how to do this too. Except, not with the laces, but with the soles. Mine aren't staying in. It's kind of the same problem, so I thought I'd post here too.

Random dude:
Everyone needs to use flipflops. They let your feet breathe!

Trolling flamer:
Dude, it's so easy to tie shoes that way. Just hold both strings, double one of them, then circle around on the left, and you're done. There complete directions on www. mikeys-shoes .com/idiot-help/ totally-obvious-but-useless-directions.html

User Needs Support:
I think that's the left circle, not the right loop. Also, those are for mikey's shoes, which are all flat-tops and in-threaded. Conserve are high-tops and out-threaded. I can't seem to find clear directions that make sense for these shoes.

Moderator:
Mikey's shoes does not support right handed loop lace tying. This thread has been closed.

And there you have it. Apparently, there are no littering laws on the 'information superhighway'.
