Segmented Lacing
(Lug version)
A lug version of Segmented Lacing. This variation divides the lacing into two or more "segments", each of which can be laced up as tightly or loosely as necessary to achieve a comfortable yet secure fit for "difficult" shoes or feet.
Lug Segmented Lacing diagram Lacing Technique:
1. Instead of a single long lace in each shoe, start out with two laces, each around half the length of the original shoelace.

2. The first lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is laced with Lug Criss Cross Lacing to about the middle of the shoe.

3. Starting from the next higher set of lugs, the second lace is similarly laced to the top of the shoe.

4. Each "segment" is then tightened to suit your preference and knotted. For example, tighten the bottom segment more if you have narrow feet, less if you have wide feet.
