I vote Laces and XX Knee Hi's!
Lots of great colors and designs at Journey's!
And the sizing is that hard to understand if you wear a say a 6B/M then you need a converse 4 (the number stamped in the sole of the rubber).
And 11B/M is a converse 9.
I have all black leather hi top laces and black and white leather hi top laces and low top black and white low laces. I love converse. Next on my list Comme des Garcons converse.
