Eyelet Lace

30 Ways To Lace Shoes(10)

26. Knotted Lacing
Adding an overhand knot at each crossover increases friction and keeps the lacing much firmer. Ideal for tightening ice skates, rollerblades, etc. 

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are crossed over each other and are then knotted with a single overhand knot, which is identical to the Starting Knot.
3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until both ends reach the top eyelets. 

Features:
Keeps lacing tight
Assists tightening
Harder to loosen

27. Twistie Lacing
Like a combination of Loop Back and Knotted Lacing, the laces are twisted together with a vertical overhand knot at each crossover before continuing to the other side. 

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are twisted together with one complete twist in the middle of the shoe.
3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until both ends reach the top eyelets.

Features:
Decorative look
Keeps lacing tight
Harder to loosen 

28. Roman Lacing
Alternating X-I-X-I on top of the shoe, which looks a little like Roman numerals. It's most effective on dress shoes where the sides of the shoe meet in the middle.

Note that the lacing technique depends on the number of eyelets in the shoe. This is because an "X" and an "I" form an odd number of passes across the sides of the shoe, and an even number is needed for the lace ends to meet and to be tied together. 

Lacing Technique: 6 Eyelets = XIXI:
1. The lace is fed into the bottom left eyelet, runs vertically (grey section) and emerges from the next eyelet above.
2. Both ends are crossed over each other on top of the shoe and are fed into the two eyelets on the bottom right side.
3. The bottom (yellow) end runs straight up the right side, skipping one eyelet before emerging from and running across the third set of eyelets.
4. The left (yellow) end, which was fed into the third eyelet, now runs straight up the left side and emerges from the fourth eyelet.
5. The right (blue) end runs straight up the right side, skipping one eyelet before emerging from the fourth eyelet.
6. Both ends are crossed over each other on top of the shoe and are fed into the fifth pair of eyelets.
7. Both ends run straight up the shoe and emerge through the top eyelets, where they are tied to form the final "I". 

Features:
Decorative look
Suits dress shoes
Harder to tighten
