How do you lace your sneakers? Out of the box, they are always 'toe bar over'. Do you relace them?

Just checked and I’m both.
I guess I can claim to be a non binary shoe lacer.

I do not, but this is just about the toe bar...the starting point to lacing up the shoe.
Wait until we get to this poll:
I was going to say neither of those options are correct but it appears you beat me to it.
But to start its toe bar over. Anyone that goes under is a psychopath
Under.
And side note, when I was in the Army, it was under with a knot on one pair of boots and under without a knot on the other. One of the stupid quirks OSUT ingrained in my brain that I finally flushed when I retired.

Under because I'm not a psychopath. Death to overs!!
Correction, that lacing is already done when I buy the shoes so I just roll with it.
^this^
And I've been pulling laces out of new shoes to completely start over with the under ever since. Another thing is, not only do shoe manufacturers start with an over bar (which is fine), they continue feeding the laces up the shoe by going over the eyelets. This technique actually makes it more difficult to tighten up the shoe.
So, when I relace my sneakers, I not only start with an under toe bar, I maintain the under threading through out. Watch how this psychopath inserts the laces from the outside in, instead of inside out.

Like the over/under roll with TP, IDGAF. It's whatever they come out of the box as. Looks like it's under.
With my running shoes, I use the extra eyelet to create a "lock" for the laces. That way I don't have to double knot and they won't loosen.
Sounds like something an over would say.
A. You must have Colonoscopy on ignore.
B. Would you rather talk about Biden and/or Trump?
All I remember about my childhood Chucks was getting fat fluorescent laces from the County Fair so we could sport these puppies!
Have you taken a look at this board? It’s all useless posts. Only difference is this one isn’t politically driven. Well not yet anyway.
Yeah, i just leave the laces how they are. They're currently top over. Most of the time when the laces are worn out it's time for new shoes, so I don't ever bother fully lacing my shoes.
However they come from the store. I can’t remember lacing up a pair of shoes from scratch at any point in at least the last couple decades.
I seem to recall being instructed to lace "bar at the bottom, X at the top" during Air Force basic training.
(but remember, Air Force basic back then was like being at Boy Scout camp C.S. Klaus)

Yep, had to look to see how the current pair was laced. Won't bother changing.
Like others said how ever they come from the store, then the few pairs of shoes that I have with laces. And there are not many anymore as most are slip on shoes. I take the end of the laces and put them under the sole. I haven't tied a pair of shoes in years.
Don't know, the maid does it after my morning beej.
