A bit from history

The Converse All-star that can also be called Chuck Taylor All-Star, was produced in 1908 by Marquis Mills.

He created the iconic trainer with a rubber sole. And now, the Converse All-star is one of the most popular trainers around the world.

The iconic features are available in both low and high top. The high top has seven eyelets, where you can fix the laces and the extra two eyelets at the side of the shoe for ventilation.

The Converse high top made purposely for basketball would need that ventilation system.

  2. Make the top lace to be perpendicular to the shoe and outside of the eyelets.
  3. The ends of the shoelaces should pass through the eyelets by going forth and out of the shoe.
  4. Repeat the last two steps till you lace your shoe up to the last eyelet. Adjust it to your fit and tie it.

How to count your converse high top shoe eyelets

Count the total number of eyelets on your converse high-top shoe at the lacing part and divide them by two.

Or count the number of eyelets at one side of the lacing part of the shoe.

You may as well add it to the two eyelets at the side of the shoe that enhances breathability.
