Double Lacing (Lug version)
A lug version of Double Lacing. Another way of ending up with two colours is to use two laces. These are interwoven up the shoe, ending up with four lace ends that can then be tied creatively.
The four ends of the two shoelaces end up at the top of the shoe. This picture of of Lug Double Lacing was sent to me by Meredith P. More Lacing Photos	Lacing Technique: 1. Start with two different coloured laces, each shorter than the original laces from that shoe. 2. Feed one lace (purple in my example) straight across the bottom and up through both bottom lugs. 3. Cross the ends over and, skipping one set of lugs, feed up through the third set of lugs. 4. Continue crossing over and going up two sets of lugs at a time until you reach either the top or second from top set of lugs. 5. Take the other lace (orange in my example) and, starting from the second set of lugs, repeat steps (2) through (4) until the remaining lugs are laced with the second lace. Features: Decorative look Creative options Needs new laces Comparative Length (bottom lace) = 67% Laced area uses less (about −33%) Shorter lace needed (about −15%) Lengthens lace ends (about +29%) Comparative Length (second lace) = 44% Laced area uses less (about −56%) Shorter lace needed (about −26%) Lengthens lace ends (about +50%) More details
NOTE: If your shoes have odd numbers of sets of lugs (such as the 5 sets in the above diagram), one lace will pass through more lugs than the other. The two laces will therefore need to be different Lengths.
