How do you deal with the shoestrings? I've been wearing a pair of Five Ten shoes for a few months. The shoes are comfortable and work well, except I always have to tuck in the long shoestring on my right shoe so it doesn't get stuck in the chain. It's usually okay but feels uncomfortable from time to time. Is there a good trick to getting this out of your way?

Thanks.
