Bow Tie Lacing
|
This method "lengthens" ends because it consumes the least amount of shoelace. The laces cross over on the outside
and run vertically on the inside, forming a "bow-tie" outline.

• At each eyelet pair, alternate between a crossover on the outside and in through the next higher set of
eyelets or running straight up on the inside and out through the next higher set of eyelets. Repeat until lacing
