Bought these for days where leather soles aren't wise, but wore them on a beautiful spring afternoon here in Illinois. Thanks for @ae_ashley for hooking me up with these Caens!

Love Caen's, where in Illinois? I'm Central.

Spiderweb lacing, famalam.

I do it on all my boots. I think it looks neat.

Ian's Shoelace Site – Spider Web Lacing

Tutorial for Spider Web Lacing, in which the shoelaces are woven vertically and diagonally, forming a “web” of shoelace.

It's a military style that is often used on jump boots and the like. These aren't really jump boots, but I think it makes them look cool.

You know where, Jim! Lol.

Urbana. Home of mediocre football teams and excellent bars.

Does look kind of neat, everyone should have Ian's site bookmarked

I do, and it's getting closer to cookout time

Hell yes it is. Hopefully the Urbana spring will hold up!

In terms of shoe lacing, my general practice is:

Chukkas and other low-eyelet styles: criss-cross. You can't really get too fancy with them.

Oxfords: straight lacing.

Derbys and bluchers: diagonal lacing.

Boots: spiderweb lacing.

I get straight (and now spiderweb) lacing, but what is the difference between crisscross and diagonal?

The shoes on the left (mine) are Hanover PTB with diagonal lacing, whereas Kevin's AE spectators are criss-crossed:



Here my Bradley's are also diagonal laced.



I feel that derbys/bluchers don't look as good straight laced. The straight lacing accentuates the nice closure of an oxford, but it looks cool to have them slanted on derbys, at least with many eyelets.

OMG, local weather man is on tv, wearing a grey suit/tie with WHITE GUCCI BIT LOAFERS.....Looks like sh*t.

Got it, diagonal appears to be a variation on what most people consider "standard" crisscross.

not according to him I would guess but this also proves, once again, that money does not buy good taste.

No, it looks like Cousin Eddie decided to wear a suit and do the weather.
