IMO shoelace belts are only good in one situation.... when you get to the hill, and you spaced on bringing a real belt, remove shoelace, use as belt.

Other then that, its just another stupid fad.  Just like tight jeans and frogskins.

They look good with jeans, they're cheap/free, and they work fine... I don't think you could use them with ski pants, unless you fashioned yourself some shoelace overalls.

shoelaces should be used for one thing, and one thing only. headbands.

something else that worked wonderfully in a situation like that for me was tying two bandannas together, they actually held fairly well

wait so were talkin just putting a shoe lace through yoru belt loop to hold your pants up? thats fucking gay and i think it would be uncomfortable like make your pants feel all weird around the waist. and it would look like shit!

Honestly, baseball belts are where its at for belts-they're cheap, hold up well, and can look sick with jeans or ski pants.
