Shoe Lacing
Ian’s Shoelace Site - Shoe Lacing Methods
Criss Cross Lacing
This is probably the most common method of lacing normal shoes and boots. The laces simply criss-cross as they work their way up the shoe.
Friday’s run in the woods turned into a run in the fields, which turned into a climb through the woods to get back to where we needed to be. Poison ivy was basically everywhere. Fortunately I didn’t get any and Harry only got a tiny bump on his arm. I decided it would be best to wash everything, shoes and all, just in case. Harry was borrowing my trail running shoes at the time so I washed both pairs. I just finished relacing my track shoes today because I have been wearing my trail shoes. I laced them in Criss Cross style, with opposing “which direction is on top” for each shoe.
I missed the tongue loop on the first shoe so I had to go back and put the laces through it after I finished the second shoe. Do other people use the tongue loop? I use it in my running shoes but generally I don’t think I lace through it in my normal street shoes (granted, most leather shoes like I wear don’t have one anyway.)
Ian’s Shoelace Site is apparently the place to go for information on shoe laces. 34 ways to lace shoes, plus 17 ways to lace shoes with lugs.
How do you lace your shoes?
