22 Different Ways To Lace Shoes

Criss Cross Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Traditional" or "Zig Zag" Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.

2. The ends are crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.

3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

Ian's Rating:

Traditional

Simple to lace

Comfortable

Corrugates shoe

NOTE: Criss Cross is also the preferred lacing for comfort, mainly because the crossovers of lace occur in the gap between the sides of the shoe and thus aren't pressed against the foot

Over Under Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. The ends are crossed over underneath and emerge from the next set of eyelets up the shoe, then crossed over on top and fed into the next set of eyelets.

3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

Ian's Rating: My Personal Favourite!

Decorative

Faster & easier

Less wear & tear

NOTE: If the shoe has an ODD number of eyelet pairs (eg. 5 pairs = 10 eyelets), start with the bottom (grey section) underneath in order for the last crossover to also be underneath when you reach the top eyelets.

Straight (European) Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Ladder" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. One end of the lace (yellow end) crosses diagonally underneath, emerges and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.

3. The other end (blue end) crosses diagonally, emerges and runs straight across the next set.

4. Continue up the shoe, alternately feeding in one end and then the other.

Ian's Rating:

Shortens ends

Neat on top

Messy underneath

NOTE: The underlying mess of laces is mainly noticeable when the sides that are being laced together are widely spaced, such as in the above diagram. Though visually messy, this criss-cross makes the lacing very tight & secure.

Straight lacing is often recommended for military use, not only because of the security but because the laces can be quickly cut through with a knife or scissors in order to easily remove a boot from an injured foot. However, I've been told that the U.S. Army, which has regulations for just about everything, states the following for their standard black leather combat boots:

"The boots are laced diagonally with black laces, with the excess lace tucked into the top of the boot under the bloused trousers or slacks, or wrapped around the top of the boot."

I guess that would make Straight (European) Lacing against regulations for at least the U.S. Army. I'd recommend that military personnel check before they adopt this, or any other, possible non-regulation lacing method!

Straight (Fashion) Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Bar" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. One end of the lace (yellow end) runs straight up the right side, emerges and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.

3. Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before emerging two eyelets higher up.

4. Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time, until one end reaches the top.

5. The other end then runs straight across the second last set of eyelets, then straight up to the top.

Odd Variations

Modifying Fashion Lacing for use on shoes with odd numbers of eyelet pairs

Straight (Fashion) Lacing is very popular, despite the fact that it's limited to shoes with even numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 6 pairs = 12 eyelets). I've even been told that it's the method used by the Canadian Air Cadets. It's therefore not surprising that some people have resorted to a number of extraordinary measures to get it to work on shoes with odd numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets). Some examples:

Skip One Pair

The easiest solution is to simply not use either the top or the bottom pair of eyelets. Using only an even number of eyelet pairs avoids the odd limitation. It's also possible to skip a pair of eyelets somewhere in the middle, which breaks the lacing into two sections.

Diagonal Cross

Use a single diagonal crossover at either the top or bottom of the lacing. At the top, it's less noticeable due to the bows & shoelace ends. At the bottom, you can also run the diagonal around the inside of the tongue, making it invisible at the expense of some slight discomfort.

Cut the Laces

The lace can also be cut in the middle of this diagonal, with the ends either tied off or secured with lace locks, then hidden inside the shoe. Again, this gives a neat result at the expense of some slight discomfort. It's great for Bi-Colour Lacing.

Double Cross

This unusual solution works by doubling up the laces through the second-bottom pair of eyelets. Because it's near the bottom of the shoe, any difficulty with tightening this section is not so noticeable as the shoe doesn't need to open wide at that point.

Straight (Lazy) Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. One end of the lace (blue end) is fed straight up the left side all the way to, and emerges from, the top left eyelet.

3. The other end (yellow end) runs straight up the right side, emerges and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.

4. The same end (yellow end) works its way up and across back and forth through the remaining eyelets.

End lengths shift

NOTE: This lacing is limited to shoes with even numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 6 pairs = 12 eyelets). See my Straight (Fashion) Lacing page for some ways of varying this lacing for use on shoes with odd numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets).

Sawtooth Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. One end of the lace (yellow end) runs straight up the right side, emerges from and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.

3. The other end (blue end) runs diagonally underneath and, skipping the 2nd set of eyelets, emerges from and runs straight across the 3rd set of eyelets.

4. Continue running each lace diagonally across and up 2 sets of eyelets until one end (yellow in my example) reaches the top right eyelet.

5. The other end (blue in my example) then runs straight up the left side to emerge from the top left eyelet.

Ian's Rating:

Easier to tighten

Mis-aligned sides

Modifies fit

Using This Lacing:

This lacing is perhaps easier to tighten than most other forms of Straight Lacing due to the upper straight sections all pulling in one direction. However, because all of the underlying angled sections also pull in one direction, the net result is that the sides of the shoe are pulled inwards at an angle, thus shifting them out of alignment. The resultant "warping" may be useful to correct an otherwise ill-fitting shoe.

The idea is to lace the shoe so that those angled sections point towards whichever area of the shoe feels loose. For example, let's consider a left shoe that always feels a little loose around the front-left (towards the little toe). By lacing the angled sections so they point in that direction, when tightened, the left side of the shoe will pull backwards and inwards, effectively "warping" the shoe a bit to the right.

Naturally, if both your feet share the same problem, the left and right shoes should be laced in reverse (mirror image) in order to balance the effect on both sides.

Shoe Shop Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Ladder" or "Single Helix" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. The left (blue) end of the lace is fed diagonally all the way to the top of the shoe and emerges from the top right eyelet.

3. The right (yellow) lace is zig-zagged through the remaining eyelets similar to the Straight (Eurpoean) Lacing.

Ian's Rating:

Lazy way of lacing

Shortens ends

End lengths shift

NOTE: The left and right shoes can be laced in reverse (mirror image) so as to end up with a symmetrical look.

I've been told that Shoe Shop Lacing is the recommended lacing for the British Army. "Easy to knot in cold weather or lace quickly if you need to get away quick!". As with other straight lacing methods, the laces can be quickly cut through with a knife or scissors in order to easily remove a boot from an injured foot.

Display Shoe Lacing

I also thought of naming this method "Triathlon T1" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets.

2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.

3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.

Ian's Rating:

Neat display shoe

Easier to loosen

Harder to tighten

NOTE: Because it's easier to get your fingers under the laces from the top of the shoe and pull down, this lacing is easier to loosen, whilst criss-cross lacing is easier to tighten. Triathletes may therefore find this lacing faster for those shoes they need to remove quickly during a race.

Ladder Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.

2. The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.

3. The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.

4. At the top set of eyelets, the laces once again cross over and pass under the straight section before being tied.

Ian's Rating:

Double Back Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the second set of eyelets from the top of the shoe (grey section).

2. Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets, skipping the third set.

3. Continue down the shoe two sets of eyelets at a time.

4. When you reach the bottom, double back and work your way up through the vacant sets of eyelets.

Ian's Rating:

Shortens more

Stays very tight

Terribly awkward

Bow Tie Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. The laces then travel straight up to the next set of eyelets, thus introducing a "gap".

3. The ends are crossed over on top and fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.

4. Continue up the shoe, alternating straight up underneath or crossing over on top.

Ian's Rating:

Lengthens ends

Comfort "zones"

Loose fit

NOTE: Instead of placing gaps every second set, their positions could also be strategically chosen to coincide with tight areas of your shoes, thus giving those parts of your feet more "breathing room".

Double Helix Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Starting at the bottom, the left (blue) end emerges from the left eyelet whilst the right (yellow) end is fed into the right eyelet.

2. The left (blue) end is fed into the next highest right eyelet, whilst the right (yellow) end emerges through the next highest left eyelet.

3. This process is repeated up the shoe in a double spiral (or "Double Helix") pattern until both ends emerge at the top eyelets.

Ian's Rating:

Decorative

Fast & easy

Asymmetrical

NOTE: The left and right shoes can be laced in reverse (mirror image) so as to end up with a symmetrical look.

Hash Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Trellis" or "Noughts & Crosses" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.

2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets.

3. Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets.

4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.

Ian's Rating:

Decorative

Shortens ends

Harder to tighten

NOTE: This method looks best on shoes with even numbered pairs of eyelets (eg. 8 pairs = 16 eyelets). If you use this method on a shoe with, for example, 7 pairs (14 eyelets), you'll reach the top of the shoe without skipping the second-last eyelets. This results in the last sections of lace running at a slightly different angle. You can choose to do this at either the top or bottom of the lacing. If your shoes do have even numbered pairs of eyelets, you may also prefer to do this at both ends in order to avoid having empty eyelets.

Note the Hash Lacing on these Nike XIIs (AirAzn88's), which ensures the "T W O 3" writing is visible.

Lattice Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.

2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).

3. Both ends now run straight down and emerge from the 2nd set of eyelets (skip past 1 set of eyelets).

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, crossing over and feeding into the 5th set of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets.

5. Complete the lacing by crossing over, feeding under and emerging from the top set of eyelets.

Ian's Rating:

Decorative

Shortens more

Harder to tighten

Six eyelet pairs only

NOTE: This method only works on shoes with 6 pairs of eyelets (ie. 12 eyelets). However, if you happen to have a shoe with 11 pairs (ie. 22 eyelets), you can do a double version by simply starting the same pattern over after completing the first lattice.

If you're determined to use this lacing on a shoe with, for example, 7 pairs of eyelets (ie. 14 eyelets), you can simply ignore either the top or bottom pair and only run the lacing through the remaining 6 eyelet pairs.

Riding Boot Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. The lace is run diagonally (grey section) and emerges from the bottom left and the top right eyelets.

2. The top (blue) end of the lace is zig-zagged from the top set of eyelets down to the middle eyelets in a similar manner to the Shoe Shop Lacing.

3. The bottom (yellow) end of the lace is similarly zig-zagged from the bottom set of eyelets up to the middle eyelets.

Ian's Rating:

Unusual layout

Specific use only

NOTE: The left and right shoes can be laced in reverse (mirror image) so as to end up with a symmetrical look.

This method is also shown on the Dehner Boot site for lacing their 9 Eyelet Boots:

One Handed Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Take a lace that's slightly shorter than usual and begin by tying a knot in one end.

2. Feed the un-knotted end of the lace from inside the top right eyelet and pull it through until stopped with the knot snug against the eyelet.

3. Zig-zag the lace through the eyelets down to the bottom of the shoe similar to Shoe Shop Lacing.

4. The loose (blue) end can simply be tucked into the lacing to keep it from being stepped on.

Ian's Rating:

Handicapped use

Surprisingly easy

Loose fit

Using This Lacing:

The idea is that shoes have the most tension at the top of the lacing and very little at the bottom. With the knot holding the bulk of the tension at the top end, the friction of the lace passing through every eyelet is sufficient to stop the bottom end from slipping out even though it is "loose". (This works best with either small eyelets or fat laces).

To tighten, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. For extra security, the loose end can be tied around one of the straight sections of lace using a simple, loose knot. To loosen, work from the bottom back to the top.

Variations:

1. The left and right shoes can be laced in reverse (mirror image) so as to end up with a symmetrical look.

2. If having the knot inside the shoe is uncomfortable, position it on the outside by feeding the knotted lace into the top right eyelet. Alternately, you can feed the lace through the eyelet and then tie the lace back onto itself. In other words, knot the lace onto the eyelet.

3. For a tighter, more secure fit, substitute either thicker laces or cotton laces with a rougher surface.

Segmented Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Zoned" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Instead of a single long lace in each shoe, start out with two laces, each a little over half the length of the original lace.

2. The first lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is laced with standard Criss Cross Lacing to about the middle of the shoe.

3. Starting from the next higher set of eyelets, the second lace is similarly laced to the top of the shoe.

4. Each "segment" is then tightened to suit your preference and knotted. For example, tighten the bottom segment more if you have narrow feet, less if you have wide feet.

Looks messy

This drawing shows two segments.

You may prefer more segments, or

other lacing besides Criss Cross.

Knotted Segment Lacing

Sometimes referred to as "Permanent Zoned" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Start with a lace that's slightly longer than the original lace.

2. Use standard Criss Cross Lacing to about the middle of the shoe, laced as tightly or loosely as you prefer. For example, tighten the lower segment more if you have narrow feet, less if you have wide feet.

3. To permanently set the tightness of the lower segment, tie a "Reef Knot" at this point, ie:

- Left lace over Right lace & through, then -

- Right lace over Left lace & through.

4. Continue the Criss Cross lacing to the top of the shoe. This upper segment is then the only part that is tightened and loosened, with the tension variable independently of the lower segment.

Hidden Knot Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Lace the shoe as per Straight (Fashion) Lacing, except that the left (blue) end is made shorter and the right (yellow) end is made longer.

2. Run the the left (blue) end only as far as the second eyelet from the top left, ending up inside the shoe.

3. Run the right (yellow) end across the top pair of eyelets, also ending up inside the shoe.

4. The ends now meet between the top left eyelet and the next eyelet down. Carefully tie the knot inside the shoe at that point.

5. Finally, tuck the bow and loose ends inside the shoe wherever they are most comfortable.

Ian's Rating:

Tricky to tie knot

Slight discomfort

NOTE: This lacing is limited to shoes with even numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 6 pairs = 12 eyelets). See my Straight (Fashion) Lacing page for some ways of varying this lacing for use on shoes with odd numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets).

Bi-Colour Lacing

A multi-coloured variation of "Straight (Fashion)" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Take two different colour laces, each a tiny bit longer than the correct length for the shoes. (I was lucky to receive two such pairs with my last pair of runners!)

2. Cut them not quite in half, but offset by a centimetre or two. You may have to experiment to get the lengths right.

3. Tie one shorter piece of one colour (yellow in my example) and one longer piece of the other colour (blue in my example) firmly together and trim off the excess. For extra security, add a dab of glue. Use the remaining pieces to make the bi-colour lace for the other shoe.

4. Pull the longer (blue) end out through the bottom right eyelet, feeding from inside the shoe, until you reach the joining knot.

5. Now lace the rest of the shoe as per Straight (Fashion) Lacing.

Ian's Rating:

Very decorative

Work required

Slight discomfort

NOTE: Because this method is based on Straight (Fashion) Lacing, it needs a slightly different method for shoes with even or odd numbers of eyelet pairs:

For even numbered (eg. 6 pairs = 12 eyelets), the two laces are tied together as shown above, with the knot at the bottom right.

For odd numbered (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets), each cut end should be knotted or fitted with a lace lock to stop it from passing through the eyelet. One end then starts from the bottom right eyelet, whilst the other end starts from the left eyelet 2nd from bottom (ie. diagonally across from the bottom right eyelet).

This ensures that the laces end up across from each other at the top of the shoe, and overcomes the even number of eyelet pairs restriction. See my Straight (Fashion) Lacing page for more details.

Symmetry Between Shoes

Because each coloured lace has been cut into one long piece and one short piece, your colour combination will also alternate between the two shoes. For example, one shoe will have the blue lace at the bottom whilst the other shoe will have the yellow.

If you would prefer both shoes to look identical, you'll need to begin with one longer lace of one colour and one shorter lace of the other colour, each cut exactly in half. Then each shoe will be laced with the same coloured longer end at the bottom.

Rounded area at bottom right is

where join is hidden underneath.

Any slight discomfort this knot

may cause can be minimised

by positioning it on the side

nearest your little toe.

Double Lacing

A multi-coloured variation that looks similar to "Double Back" lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Start with two different coloured laces, each shorter than the original laces from that shoe.

2. Feed one lace (blue in my example) straight across the bottom and emerge from the bottom two eyelets.

3. Cross the ends over and, skipping one set of eyelets, feed under and emerge from the third set of eyelets.

4. Continue crossing over and going up two sets of eyelets at a time until you reach either the top or second from top set of eyelets.

5. Take the other lace (yellow in my example) and, starting from the second set of eyelets, repeat steps (2) through (4) until the remaining eyelets are laced with the second lace.

Ian's Rating:

Very decorative

Creative options

Needs new laces

NOTE: If your shoes have odd numbers of eyelet pairs (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets), one lace will pass through more eyelets than the other. The two laces will therefore need to be different lengths.

Variations:

When finished, this method ends up with four lace ends at the top of the shoe. Here's where you have plenty of creative options for tying your shoes:

Tie two knots, one using the ends across the top set of eyelets, the other with the ends across the second from top set of eyelets.

Tie two knots, only instead of tying across the shoe, tie them up the shoe - one knot on the left side using the two left ends and the other knot on the right side using the two right ends.

Tie the two knots diagonally across each other.

Tie the two starting knots across the shoe and the finishing bows up the shoe.

Take the two ends at each side and hold them together like a single lace, then tie only one knot using those double-thickness laces. (Works best with flat laces).

Tie four sets of knots and bows, two across the shoe (top ends, second from top ends), then two up the shoe (left ends, right ends).

Lace one colour in reverse to end up at the bottom of the shoe.

Tie only the top ends, whilst the second from top ends are fed into those eyelets and simply tucked into the shoe.

These are only some of the possibilities I've thought of. Your only limit is your imagination and your own definition of the boundary between "decorative" and "messy".

The four ends of the two laces

end up at the top of the shoe.

Checkerboard Lacing

Lacing Technique:

1. Start with two pairs of different colour laces, preferably the wide, flat variety. (I was lucky to receive two such pairs with my last runners!)

2. With one colour (yellow in my example), lace the shoe using either Straight (Fashion) or Straight (Lazy) Lacing.

3. With the other colour (blue in my example), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top.

4. Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom.

5. Continue across the shoe until you're out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first.

6. Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.

Ian's Rating:

Very decorative

Slip-on or off (no knot required)

Loose fit

Yellow lace ends are tucked

into the shoe and out of sight.

Blue lace ends are also tucked

into the shoe and out of sight.

NOTE: When completed, this lacing forms a sort of loose, springy weave that does not bind strongly. It's designed for the latest fashion of wide-fronted runners that people usually wear loose with the laces dragging. Sort of like a trendy slip-on.

Variations:

1. For a slightly tighter fit, use wider or rougher laces to increase friction and thus support more tension.

2. For even more security, do the initial Straight Lacing in reverse so that the loose ends are at the bottom of the shoe. With most of the tension occurring at the top of the shoe, the extra security is provided by the friction of all the eyelets below.

3. For the greatest security, do the checkerboard lacing only up to the second eyelet from the top, then tie your shoelaces normally across the top two eyelets.

Note that these lacing methods are generally for shoes with eyelets or any other form of hole or loop through which the lace travels between the outside and the inside of the shoe. For shoes or runners with speed lacing, (ie. lugs, hooks or other similar means of running the laces straight up and down), there is no real alternative to the simple Criss Cross Lacing for which they are designed.
