Tie your shoes so bow doesn't show?

[bunnymendelbaum]

This is a ridiculous question, but the only sneakers I've worn regularly as an adult are running shoes while running.
I was about to get these shoes and like the look of no floppy bow. How do you do this? Tie and tuck it? It would be awesome if the solution included some elastic-y trick so I can just slip them on.

I haven't tried this personally, but could you get some of those elastic no-tie laces, then thread them inside on the last hole and tuck them in?

You have to lace them down into the hole instead of coming from underneath the hole. Then you tie them under the tongue thing.

I always just tie my shoes a little looser so that I could slip them on and off.

Exactly this. Lace them down, tie under the tongue. I always leave it loose enough so slip on and off.

Ok, thanks! I might cut the laces if I like it like that. I remember I've done that before and the bow and laces irritated the top of my foot.

I did that for my daughter's chucks, but here I like how the laces match. It does worked great though!

I have always just knotted the laces on the inside and then cut off the extra lace.

Are you certain the "laces" shown aren't stretchy elastic ones and that they come like this?

I had a pair of slip-ons like that a couple years ago.

cute shoes!

I bought sneakers for errands that had elastic laces. No bow. I love them.
