There are many types of lace-up shoes. There may be more than one way to tie the ropes in lace-up shoes, especially sneakers. For example, you bought a stylish Nike Dunk sneaker. You can use various types of lacing to make the shoes look even more stylish. Or, some lace models look particularly good on an Adidas Gazelle. Without further ado, let’s start explaining the shapes and looking at how to do it.
We will tell you 5 models that are beautiful and different from each other. It will not be difficult to try, you can try and use whatever you want.
Cross Linking
It will add elegance to your shoes, although it is slightly different from the classic cross shoe lacing.
Insert the shoelaces into the first holes with the ends facing up.
Cross the ends of the laces from above and pass them through the holes
Continue by tying normally over the cross, from the top of the shoe to the bottom.
Tuck the remaining loose end into the shoes.
Ladder Connection Type
Ladder lacing increases the grip of the shoe on your foot. It can also be used for balance and support. It provides a more elegant look, especially in long shoes such as Air Jordan shoes.
Insert the shoelaces into the first holes with the ends down
Equalize by pulling on both sides
Thread the ends straight through the sides and thread into the next compartment
Pass the ends straight but under the vertical lace sections on the opposite side
Continue straight to the next high hole
Repeat the last two steps until you reach the last rings.
Straight Rod Attachment
It is a preferred type of binding with a clean appearance and easy tightening feature.
Insert the shoelaces into the first holes with the ends down
Pull both sides of the string to make them even
Pull the left end straight from the inside, then pull straight from the outside
Thread both ends straight through the inside, each skipping one hole and exposing the two holes higher
Continue like this until you reach the last holes.
One-Handed Tying
Looser and more comfortable than other types of tying, the one-handed tying is also easier than other tying.
Tie a knot in the upper corner of the shoe with the end of the shoelace.
Pass the knotless end through the other top hole and pull until it fits snugly into the knot hole.
Zigzag the shoelace from the holes to the bottom of the shoe
Tuck the remaining loose end into the shoe.
Cage Attachment Type
Our most difficult form is the lattice attachment. You may not be able to do it the first time, feel free to try again.
Insert the shoelace into the first holes with the end up
Cross the ends outside and thread the ends into the holes 3 rows above the shoe
Thread both ends inside and out towards the next hole
Cross the ends on the outside and pass them through the holes 3 rows down
Thread both ends inside and out towards the next hole.
Shoe Lacing Styles
We talked about five different ways of tying laces, albeit a bit complicated. Each of the methods is more beautiful than the other, you can use the one that comes easy to you or the one you like, or you can use the other one every day. In addition, you can create your own way of tying laces, it’s entirely up to your creativity.
If we consider the cases of falling by pressing the laces, we can see how important it is to tie it correctly rather than its shape. In addition, the laces hanging from the shoes will get dirty as they touch every floor. Dirty laces always cause problems, so you should pay attention to how much your laces hang out.
