I agree with Sneakerphile - if you're going to go straight across with the laces you need proper fat ones, 20mm plus. I think the criss cross style can look pretty tidy with the thin laces if it's done neatly.

Bows are clearly not wrong. Who sees them anyway? Unless you're wearing shorts year round, or some 'man' capris (man-pri's for you, mr p?) then bows are fine.
I suppose you could use some type of fisherman's knot or something. a couple of hitches around a small dowel?
When you're running from the man, the last thing you want is your laces flapping around

Gettin' into the discussion...
Farmer how do you put your laces like that, and keep the shoe on your feet?! You've used the longest ones - 54?

You might find it amusing as to why "we" think it's a bad idea to tie your laces at all, never mind tie a bow !

searched for the last 20 minutes and can't find the thread you reference. but then I can't google for crap either.

Rumour has it we're all about to get 50% warnings. All because mr. p has an unnatural fear of bending over.

Oh Christ no!!! If there's one thing I have a deep rooted pet hate for, it is slip on shoes, or almost any footware with out laces!!! If we're taking shoes, give me a nice leather brogue anyday.
Slip-ons??
