sab.. they do look better like that. Now,as you look at them the left shoe is fine.. however on the right one you've gone: underlap, underlap, overlap, overlap, overlap, overlap.

Now us purists (no pud intended) like to go mirror overlap. (have a look at sk8's pic)

The way you started it, it should be underlaps the whole way up to get the mirrored finish.

We've soaked them in a tea solution to make them more of an off white to match some supes..

Hard to do, you need to alter the chemical structure of the laces while the dyeing takes place in order for it to stay.
But even then some pigments don't work.
I successfully dyed some white laces yellow by heating them up in white vinegar with Turmeric but it wasn't a strong yellow.

Most laces have polyester in them - it's hard for the dye to fix, I tried it with some of mine but wouldnt really recommend it.

I've always just tucked em in. pain the arse though when they come out n its been raining.
Have to tuck wet laces back in to my supes and the laces get stained and mashed pretty quick. Not a fan of tied laces at all.
Would you be good enough to participate in this morning's edification?

sometimes you can carefully pull up the insoles and tuck the remaining laces underneath..
