Converse is no more a new brand in footwear industry and also for the buyers who want not less than the ultimate to satisfy their passion of using the best styled footwear to impress the society. The company, incepted in 1908, started to manufacturer basketball shoes, which were named after Chuck Taylor- a famous basketball player. He joined the company in 1920. Even today, Converse is known as Chuck shoes also. Although the exciting range of Converse shoes is ever expanding yet double layer or double tongued shoes have been the preferred choice of users, who want extra comfort, firmer grip and off course the convincing style but tying a double layer Converse shoe is an art and it can be done in many ways.

Double layered Chuck shoes have two tongues and dual sets of eyelets for firm lacing. This style is popular in high and low both the top styles. There are numbers of ways you can exhibit your passion to do the things in different ways; tie up your Converse in different ways. Over Lacing, Straight Lacing, Loop Back Lacing, Ladder Lacing, Under Lacing are my favorite styles. However ...
... you must have laces of sufficient length to select any of these patterns. Converse Shoes with seven eyelets pairs need at least 45” long laces, shoes with eight eyelets pairs need 54” long laces and shoes with nine eyelets pairs need 63” long laces. The required length of laces depends upon the pattern you chose to tie double layered Converse shoes. The following part details the tips to tie up a double layered Converse in different patterns.

Over Lacing is the simplest form of lacing that every one learns first of all. Start the lace over bottom eyelets set and criss-cross the laces to go up. Straight Lacing is often seen in advertisements; it is an European Lacing style. Lace the Converse by alternating the horizontal and diagonal lines with each lace side. It seems similar to popular zigzag pattern under horizontal lacing. Up and Down pattern starts from top of shoe. Continue lacing down skipping one hole at every turn. After reaching at bottom, come up using the skipped eyelets. Loop Back Lacing has been my favorite style to tie double layered Converse shoes. It is more creative but effective for better grip. I use two pairs of different color laces; I do it to highlight twists that emerge at the center. Start lacing from under the eyelets to make an X figure. Twist again to come on left side eyelet. Follow the same pattern with 2 extra twists between each eyelets pair.

Selection of pattern also depends upon the type of laces available; extra wide flat laces are not good for complex Loop Back Lacing; round shape or semi flat laces make the lacing task easier.

Proper traction at both the tongues of double layered Converse shoes is must; sometimes, we leave the inner tongue lacing loose that subsidizes the traction force. The inner tongue should always be straight under the upper part. Some double layers Converse shoes come with longer under tongue coming out of lacing area. Use the extra laces part to tie this extra tongue part in a twisted form.
