How To Stop Common Projects Creasing Badly!

Common Projects Achilles Low sneakers sometimes crease really badly with the factory lacing and it ruins the shape of the leather and the shoe. In this video I show you how to fix that problem so that your shoes wear a lot better and look a lot better with age. They are also a lot more comfortable to wear afterwards.
This will work on any trainers or shoes that have the same problem so if you have any sneakers that have this problem then use the same technique.
I thought this was down to the way I walked but it seems that a lot of people have this problem and I could not find anything on RU-vid with a solution.
For general creases you can use the ironing method but this video is more about those annoying folds you get when there is too much tension in the laces. For older sneakers, they will already be creased badly but this method will make the shoe a better shape afterwards still. I have used this method on a pair of 2 year old Achilles Low and they look so much better.
Let me know if this works for you.

Let me know if this helps you out. It has worked on 2 pairs of sneakers for me

@michaelcid 4 года назад

Thnx! This really helped me out!

@gomlbondoc 4 года назад

It didn’t for me 😕

@youngvisu Год назад

Thank you! I just bought a pair of common projects and I noticed a lot of people pairs develop creases and I wanted to prevent mine from developing that “beat up shoe look”

@neilangus1363 10 месяцев назад

Calf leather as advertised

@roadfert Год назад

This definitely worked and the shoes became way more comfortable as a side effect! I had a pair or Cole Haan shoes that were creased for over a year and this fixed them as well.

@3ZN357 4 года назад

Solid method, mine are already creased but the spread is indeed much nicer now

@ryanbar1562 5 лет назад

I was literally just considering pulling the laces out and going with the ol' criss-cross after I noticed my CP's creasing and figured the way they came laced had something to do with it. I'll try your way because of its similarities to the way they originally came. Thanks

@HarryHas 5 лет назад

I did that at first and it definitely helps but it just looked so strange with these shoes. I hope this sorts yours out. Let me know if this works for you.

@themanuel1540 5 лет назад

Great tip! Although I’ve only had this crease happen to one of my CPs. I think I’ll use this lacing system for all of them. Prevention is better than cure

@HarryHas 5 лет назад

I had only had it happen to one other pair (i have 4) and I left it. Just changed it on the old pair today and it is so much better. I am going to switch to this method every time now.

@toonlad4091 4 года назад

Just done my new pair of Artisan Lab Essential Whites using this method, not worn them yet but looking for the ultimate way to lace them up to reduce long term wear on the leather. Only issue with this method is that you can't hide the laces and need to be laced from the outside, not too much of an issue but I do prefer to see my trainers without the bunny ear tied laces.

@ENJOYMUSICANDCHILL 2 года назад

@othmane3863 5 лет назад

Oh man, finally a video about this. I tried it though and still have the crease :/ it’s between the first and second lace. No other shoe I have does this.

@HarryHas 5 лет назад

Hey man, if you have had the crease for a long while then the leather has probably got used to it too much but still use this method and it will level out the tension and look better than it did. Also try using this method on the shoe that still has the crease and try lacing it the opposite way so if you went up on the left hand side first then do the right hand side first instead. Sometimes the shoe can be out of line slightly and this just aligns it better. This method fixed my problem permanently with my newer pair. Hope this helps.

@snarwars 4 года назад

I believe you can achieve the same thing by mirroring the out-the-box lace for the right shoe. So that left and right are symmetrical.

@RebirthBeyond 3 года назад

Very interesting and thanks for sharing. I've had 3 CPs where the right shoe has the bad crease. Mirroring the laces from the left shoe should work.

I honestly don't wear my Common Projects much these days. I needed a break from them. They are a great shoe though

@CuteGuy0 4 года назад

Harry Has They are nice. Can wear them with almost any fit. I wouldn’t wear them too much either. CP and KOIO are two that I’m most attracted to from amongst many other brands. I’ve heard Greats are good as well but CP and Koio has the best silhouette to me

@HarryHas 5 лет назад

No worries man!

@LexZattas Год назад

I just "lost" my right shoe due to creasing which eventually thinned out the not-so-great leather creating a small hole. I wonder if this tip would've helped. Initially I thought it was the leather that was flaking but I was surprised to find a hole. It's a pity, since overall I kept them in good condition. I've been wearing them for two years now and of course I won't pick another Common Project pair again.

@michaell3128 4 года назад

do you do the opposite for the other side?

@HarryHas 4 года назад

Yes you do

@Draphcone 4 года назад

If I do not care about it looking like the factory lacing, would the normal, criss-cross way of lacing shoes be more effective at preventing creases?

@HarryHas 4 года назад

No lacing method prevents the shoe creasing, this just stops this particular shoe from creasing in a horrible way. The way they are laced in the factory puts too much strain on one side. The criss cross method is a good way to do it to spread the tension but I just don't like the look with this shoe.

@DJ4712DC 4 года назад

It actually works thanks

@HarryHas 4 года назад

So glad it helped you out. Mine are all good since doing this

@malikkhan7736 3 года назад

This appears to have worked on one shoe (left) but not the other (right). When you start on the other shoe, do you switch the side that goes up the same side at the beginning?

@VanCough 2 года назад

My guess is that your right foot is just bigger than your left and therefore is putting more pressure on the leather even with the new lacing system

@jimdeen9681 5 лет назад

I’ve had my pair for just over a month and they’re still squeaking whenever I walk. Does your pair squeak at all? It’s really frustrating.

@HarryHas 5 лет назад

Hi James. Ahh the sqeak. This is a problem with some pairs. My first white pair were so loud. My others dont sqeak much at all. You can try some leather cream on them and see if that helps. A lot of people's calmed down over time but my first pair never stopped. I just got used to it in the end. You could try a bit of vaseline also to see if that helps.

@jimdeen9681 5 лет назад

@derrickwedge 5 лет назад

Do you know how to get rid of the squeak on common projects?

You can try a bit of talc powder on the squeaky areas or some leather cream. Also vaseline will work but just try a tiny bit overnight and then wipe off.
