High top Converse sneakers have more eyelets than low tops, which means they can take longer to lace and tie. Elastic no tie shoelaces make high tops easier to put on while keeping the tall lace-up style that makes Chucks recognizable.
Fast High Top Setup
- Remove the original laces. Keep the tongue centered and flat.
- Start with the lower eyelets. Thread the elastic lace evenly so both sides match.
- Use a crisscross pattern. This works well for most high top Converse and keeps pressure balanced.
- Set tension while wearing the shoes. High tops should support the ankle area without feeling tight.
- Trim and tuck the ends. Finish the setup only after walking around for a minute.
High Top Fit Tips
Because high tops cover more of the ankle, do not overtighten the upper rows. Leave enough stretch so your foot can slide in comfortably. If you want a cleaner fashion look, keep the tension slightly looser at the top and more secure near the middle.
