II. Step-by-Step Guide
A. Start with unlacing the Vans shoes
The first step in lacing your Vans is to remove the existing laces. To do this, let the laces go through every pair of eyelets until they reach the end. Take hold of the knot on each tongue and pull it gently. Repeat this on both shoes, then set the laces aside. You can now move on to lacing your shoes.
B. Step-by-step guide on how to lace Vans shoes
The most common way to lace your Vans is the Criss Cross method, which is beginner-friendly and easy to customize. Start by positioning your shoe upright and inserting the lace into the eyelets at the bottom of the shoe on either side. Ensure the lace is even on both sides. Make sure both ends of the lace are facing up before you start lacing your shoes. Take the right end of the lace and insert it into the eyelet on the left side. Pull it all the way through and then cross it over the tongue and insert it into the right-side eyelet. Repeat the same process for the left side by taking the left end of the lace and inserting it across to the eyelet on the right side. Cross it over the tongue and insert it into the left-side eyelet. Continue this pattern until you reach the top of the shoe.
C. How to tie the final knot
After you’ve laced up your Vans, it’s time to tie the knot. Hold one end of the lace and wrap it around your finger. Take the other end and wrap it around the first lace two times, then slide it through the opening in the loop and pull tightly until the bow is firm. Finish it off with a second knot to ensure it stays put.
