How you lace your vans depends entirely on what lacing pattern you're using. For example, if you're bar lacing, thread your laces downward through the holes. If you're zipper lacing, thread from underneath.

Begin by threading the lace through the bottom eyelets from the outside in. Make sure both lace ends are of equal length.Criss-cross the laces up the shoe, alternating between inside and outside. Once you reach the top, thread each lace end straight across to the opposite side. Take each lace end and thread it under the bar you just created. Tie a knot to secure the laces. Remember: there are various lacing styles, so feel free to explore what suits your comfort and style best.
