Hash Lacing
(Lug version)
A lug version of Hash Lacing. When used on modern boots and sneakers with a wide gap between the sides, the result resembles a diagonal series of hash "#" symbols.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into the top of both bottom lugs.

2. The ends emerge through the bottom of the lugs and are then crossed over and fed into the top of the next set of lugs up the shoe.

3. Repeat step (2) until both ends reach the top lugs.
