Double Back Lacing
(Lug version)
A lug version of Double Back Lacing. Although terribly awkward to tighten, this method looks interesting, holds very firmly, and can also be used if you're desperate to shorten long lace ends.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the second set of lugs from the top of the shoe (grey section).

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

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

4. At the bottom, double back and work your way back up the shoe through the vacant sets of lugs.


Features:
Stays very tight
Terribly awkward

Comparative Length = 113%

Longer laces needed (about +6%)
