I think a tight fit would probably work, all my friends have vans slip-ons and they don't' have any problems with them

The trick is to lace the shoes up under the tongue,giving them a appearance of laceless shoes.

Are you a big fan of RUN DMC ?

Aren't there special ones with kind of an elastic ish thingy?

^Are you sure they aren't Puma Suedes? Puma ran a special version of their Suede that featured no laces. They're called "Puma Fatlace"

^ You mean why are there lace holes on the side? It's for aesthetic reasons making the shoe look like it suppose to have laces but it doesn't! Mind fuck! Anyway, It's called Fatlace because of the Side platform logo forming the shape of a shoelace.

Ya superstars def don't have any elastics to keep them in.

Ya i like the look of going laceless, definitely run dmc inspired.

I think lacing behind works the best so far, ty. According to Rev Run they kept them on with magic....

I might also just go with laces and do star instead of traditional xcross

Neva did you buy those superstars today?

The white with black stripes will be my next pair of superstars.

nah, i've had these ones for a year or so but I just took them out of the box today.

I tend to stock up on the buy one get one sales. pretty much only wear white campus and white/black superstars. classic style, can't go wrong

I've been looking all over for laceless shoes for the gym... I am always taking my shoes on and off, and tying laces all the time is bothersome

I wish Nike still made Prestos

^ Just tie them tight enough to slip on so they won't fall off when you do some cardio. :)
