With shorter laces, the bows can be made smaller to avoid looking too ridiculous!

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 standard
Criss Cross Lacing to about the middle of the shoe.
3. Starting from the next higher set of eyelets, 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.

This page shows two segments; you may prefer three or more segments, and may also choose to use another lacing
instead of "Criss Cross" as shown. |
