Title: How do you wear laceless sneakers?
Post by: ripitupbaby on January 06, 2009, 04:20:05 AM
I love Skechers!!  Love them! 

I especially dig the laceless sneakers, I think they look really cool.  But I haven't bought a pair because I can't figure out how to wear them!   :D

The ones pictured below are called Bikers, so I guess you can wear them to work out? 
I would imagine they would look pretty stupid with socks, but do you wear them with bare feet?  Would you go to the gym with them? 
I never wear sneakers anywhere but the gym, and I have definitely never worn sneakers with bare feet, so it's hard for me to figure out what to do with them... but I still think they look pretty cool and want a pair.  I love the black ones but I can't even remember the last time I wore black sneakers.  ;D

Those are both cute.  I won't wear tennis shoes w/o socks but maybe you could wear those socks that are really short so you almost can't see them?  Quaker Oats knows the name of them. 

Maybe wear those to the gym on days you will do cardio on machines like the eliptical and not the treadmill.

Rip, those things that look like laces there are elasticy and stretch when you slip your foot into them.

And you can wear socks with them.  :)  they look like all other sneakers except no dangling ties or bows.

Thanks for the input, especially flower, I would never have guessed that!   :D

Maybe I will get a pair.  I have been eyeing them for a long time, so they MUST be cool! 
I just wasn't sure what the right "look" is for them, and I am kind of out of the loop on fashion.   :-[

I'm thinking the "no show" socks are the way to go, and I suppose they could be worn with jeans or something, although like I said, I have never worn sneakers outside of the gym...but I think they could be cute in the summer time with shorts or capris or something.  Maybe for the gym on light training days or when I just want to ride the bike...I ride the bike in my flip-flops alot so why not these! 

I love the black ones, and they have some brown/tan ones that are pretty sweet too.  The white ones look a little too "nursey" for me.

just make sure you get the ultra low socks, even the ankle socks are too much sock, you sould BARELY be able to see the top of the sock in the sneaker.

Yep, I have some of those socks tucked away somewhere.  They would be perfect! 
I bought them to use with my sneakers in the gym, but they were so annoying because they were so low that they kept slipping down under my heel.  ::)

That is why I hate them.  I do have some Nike ones that don't do that though...I usually only wear them on vacation because any little space saved in the suitcase is valuable!

Quaker, did you ever look for the Thorlo no-shows?

Hey babe, I would go with the white ones, no show socks, get a new pair because your old ones kept slipping down.  Wear them with black booty shorts and a white tank top, you will look smokin.

I dont have any non lace shoes but with some of my shoes i dont tie the laces just shove them down the shoe and put them on. I dont have a problem with them coming off but i never do anything really physically active in them either.


i think they are also called cycle socks or something like that

I wear something like this, socks that dont come above the ankle so it looks like your not wearing any. I couldnt do what stella does or all my shoes we smell something funky  :P they only shoes that you can still see some of my socks are my chucks

Babe don't listen to them!  If you just wear the sneakers and no socks and workout in them your feet will end up stinking and the shoes too!

p.s Can't wait for pics of your outfit for the gym, be sure to take a pic for all of us to look at.
