Straight (European) Lacing |

This method of straight lacing shoes appears to be more common in Europe.
The laces run straight across pairs of eyelets, giving a neat result.
Straight (European) Lacing
Sometimes referred to as "Ladder" lacing
|
 |
Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed
into both bottom eyelets.
2. One end of the lace (purple end) emerges and runs straight across the second
set of eyelets.
3. The other end (blue end) emerges and runs straight across the next set.
4. Continue up the shoe, alternately feeding in one end and then the other.
Ian's Rating:
Shortens laces

Regardless of the lacing method you choose, finish it off in style
with my own Ian Knot, the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot.
