I'll go UnPop. That guy's shoe tat laces are done wrong. Laces should alternate criss-cross for maximum strength. All the one way is suboptimal, and visually annoying.

no way. i've always set it to not alternate criss-cross because it's not in order. it just doesn't feel right. mild ocd tendencies…

But all one way is visually unbalanced, like the laces run off your foot.

[louisbosco]

seems visually balanced for me in a way that it has a smooth flow from your toe to your ankle. it's an uninterrupted kinda flow.

Over under lacing is considered by most footwear retailers to be more visually appealing than the criss-cross…

I'd say your opinion is unique @Snowy, not unpopular

Personally, I've had to lace a lot of sneakers/ boots (many times for G) and found over under is faster, easier and in the long-term reduces wear and tear…

Actually lacing 5 pairs of Nike sneakers as I type!

Open-plan living sucks. The concept of walls and separated living spaces is a valid one.

I like my cave!

Me too. It is popular now to make the first floor of a structure like a bowling alley, with little "activity areas". One can hear a mouse fart in such a setup.

Much as I am opposed to sweatshop labour, and have actively campaigned against it, I have to say that no one makes trainers (sneakers to half the boards population) better than Nike.

Yes they might be stitched together by 8 year olds earning 5p a week, but they take a beating like no other trainers. I have Nikes that are 10 years old and still going strong.
