Damn yo', those lavers are TIGHT!

Post by Chris Hanratty »

Just wondering how many people prefer to have their lavers tight, or loose. I thought of this when I was strapping up today and a lace kept on slipping, so I tied 'em up really tight and I like them tight alot better than before when it was sort of in-between, on the looser side.

Peace.

Do you fall on your face wherever you walk? lol, you can tie them up very loosely so you can still slip in and out of them... then you don't have laces danglin' everywheres! Plastic surgery bills are expensive you know ;).

I have it just right so i can slip them on for shred without tieing my shoelaces, thats how it is with all my shoes, i hate tieing shoe laces aswell coz it makes the laces stick/stiffen up and look ug.
How come theres no in between on the poll?!?!
If ur shoes are loose, u start to hear farting noises from ur feet(thats only for barefeet.. :P)

I voted for tight, but in actuallity (sp) I like them tight enough that they're not squishing my feet yet tight enough so I can feel the bag and they're not flyin' off.

i tightenen them up so they hurt my feet. i play for about 5 minutes and retie them, so i'm, not quite sure if they hurt. if you peep pics of my shoes in the "post you shoes" gallery, you'll see the toe box has ripped up and the mesh on my insides have pulled away from the soles because i just haul on the laces.

I tie mine kinda tight, but from taking them off and putting them on (without untieing) they get a little loose. They work fine like that, but its hard if it's too loose.

Word.
I've once put my 300's quite tight I could and they felt uncomfortable. Doing clippers hurt my feet that time. I keep laces as tight as I feel comfortable. I don't like my shoes too loose though.
And I open the knots everytime I take the shoes of. Without opening them the shoes get wreck much faster.
