How to lace vans 5 holes

When I opened the box of my first ever pair of Vans I was surprised to see they came unlaced, leaving me wondering how to lace Vans. Many people will go for a standard lacing style, but personally I wanted to try something a little different and take my footwear game to the next level.

Over 10 years later I’ve owned many pairs of Vans and have tried countless lacing methods.

In this post I’ll be sharing my 7 favourite ways to lace vans, with step by step instructions and pictures to be as helpful as possible.

These lacing methods will look great on Old Skool Vans, high top Vans, Sk8-Hi Vans and Vans Era (just adjust them to the number of lace eyelets as needed).

Here is a graphic showing all of the different styles I’ll be covering:
