    Can't figure out which I prefer. Left boot (one on the right) or Right boot (one on the left)? Yes, I'm sure they're minging etc.

    EDIT: Sorry, that photo's a bit big 🙂

    Left boot.

    But ensure it isn't on the other foot, etc.

    Phew! I was getting worried we would not fill Kevevs 'I don't care and I am going to make damn sure everyone knows about it' post quota for the day.

    Shoes – I'd say straight across (right) , but boots, have them cross (left)

    Can everyone stop being so balanced. I've had my manhood partially removed and need a consensus 🙂

    I'd have been worried if Kevevs gave a **** tbh.

    boots? at least we can agree on this one!

    Half and half. If anyone is a big enough arse to care then kick them square on in the balls.

    shoes yes, boots no, although doing boots straight across is a bit weird

    Neither of those above but a combination of the two. Laces should be crossed but you should never mix 'ins' and 'outs' when lacing.

    If the lace leaves a hole in the outward direction it should re-enter in the inward direction.

    Much neater.

    I'm trying to imagine under what circumstances a person might be compelled to wear such a shoe.

    Is it a fancy dress do ?

    Straight across is wrong.

    The one on the left of the picture – right idea but you've got it all wrong. Have both the bottom laces coming out, then carry on to the top.

    Well spotted that man. 8) That's how they came out of the box…they always do them up a bit weirdly in the box.

    Right hand one with even horizontal laces – otherwise if a Gurkha sneaks up behind you he might think that you're the enemy 😀

    It entirely depends on which way you hang your toilet roll.
    If it hangs away from the wall then you have your laces straight across.
    If it hangs against the wall then criss cross.

    crossed…………….DD, i love you…..are you my brother?

    Brogues should be straight laced.

    Probably wouldn't wear them myself, as they don't fit my style, but I think they're quite cool.

    I'd like to see the utter dullness of the attire of those that mock. 😉

    Saying that though – OP, are they to be worn with style, or are you just a posh ****? *notes username* 😉
