Lattice Lacing
(Lug version)
A lug version of Lattice Lacing. This very popular method forms a decorative lattice in the middle of the lacing. The laces are crossed at a steep angle, allowing them to be woven through each other.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs.

2. Cross the ends over and feed through the 2nd pair of lugs from the top of the shoe (skip past 1 pair of lugs).

3. Cross the ends over and feed through the 2nd pair of lugs from the bottom of the shoe.

4. Cross the ends over and feed through the top pair of lugs (skip past 1 pair of lugs).

TIP:
It's easier to do the weaving and get all the "Overs" and "Unders" correct if you firstly lace one end all the way to the top of the shoe. For example, complete the left (blue) end, then weave the right (yellow) end in and out.
