Recently, designers have been offering many models of boots with laces. Choosing beautiful fashionable shoes is half the battle. It is important how it is laced. To impress others, store-bought lacing is not enough. You should get creative and insert the laces in some intricate way. Then you will definitely stand out from the gray crowd, and everyone will understand that you are worth doing business with.
How to tie long shoelaces
First of all, inspect your new shoes and count the number of holes. If there are 3-4 of them on each side, buy 60-centimeter laces; if there are 7-8, then you will need meter ones. For 10-12 holes, buy a length of at least 1.8 m. Now let's start lacing.
Business
This type of lacing is suitable for people who often have to negotiate and communicate with business partners.
It is difficult to make such lacing just at first glance. In practice, everything is simple. We thread the lace into the upper left hole, pass it from the inside to the very bottom.Pull it out and make a parallel stitch from left to right. In the second row we make a reverse stitch - from right to left and so we draw one half to the very top, where we tie both halves of the product with a bow.
Crisscross
This is the most common tying method and, in fact, the simplest. Visually divide the lace into two halves and tighten the eyelets into both lower eyelets from the outside in. Next, we will lace from the inside out, crossing the left and right halves each time. It is tied with a bow at the top.
Without a bow
Many men are annoyed by the bow on their shoes. In this case, it is better to use the bowless method. It resembles a business one, only the ends do not come out, but meet inside the shoes between the top and second holes from the top, where they are successfully tied and unnoticed by prying eyes.
Butterflies
Reminds me of the criss-cross method. Only in this case, the crosses are made in pairs, and then the tips are passed inside the shoes, rather than crossed, then a second pair is made, etc.
Beautiful lacing options
For aesthetes who are accustomed to seeing beauty in everything, we offer complex but attractive lacing methods.
Cobweb
It looks beautiful, but is difficult to do. In addition, it will be problematic to tighten the laces in this position. But, as they say, beauty requires sacrifice. So let's get started.
You should pass the egglets into the lower eyelets from the inside out. Place the left lace into the fourth hole on the right, and the right cord into the fourth hole on the left. Further manipulations with the left lace: pull it out through the fifth right hole, thread it into the second left one, take it out of the third left one and thread it into the sixth right one. The same actions should be carried out with the right one only in mirror image.
Lattice
The same web, only at the end of the aeglets we insert into the holes not from the outside in, but, on the contrary, we tie them with a bow.
Snake
It is laced with one cord. We thread it into the lower left hole and draw it strictly parallel to the right. We take the lace out from the inside of the second left hole. Let's go straight again. And so we continue until the very top. We tie a knot on the side, passing the second part under the left edge of the shoe.
Ladder
A combination of straight lacing and cross lacing. We tighten the eyelets of both laces into the lower eyelets, leaving a straight stitch on the outside. Next, we thread the right one from the inside into the second left eyelet and make a straight stitch parallel to the bottom row. We thread the left one into the third right eyelet, making a parallel stitch. Next, we lace the laces one by one to the very top.
Weaving
This method is more suitable for sports boots than for weekend boots. The eyelets should be wide enough to accommodate two laces at the same time. We pass them into the lower holes from the inside out. We put the right one into the second right eyelet, and the left one into the second left one. Two loops have formed on the outside, through which the laces should be tied, having first intertwined them with each other and hooked each onto the opposite loop. Next, we insert the right one into the third hole on the left, and the left one, respectively, into the third hole on the right. We weave again and continue lacing in this way to the top.
Obliquely
The trick is that the laces are pulled into eyelets on opposite sides and tied in the middle. This weave will require an odd number of pairs of eyelets. We thread one lace into the lower left hole with the eyelet facing out, and the second into the upper left.We draw the bottom lace horizontally, thread it into the lower right eyelet, then bring it out into the second left one and again draw it perpendicularly. Thus we lace up to the middle.
We draw the top lace strictly horizontally from the outside, then lead it to the opposite eyelet and gradually go down. The laces meet in the middle and can be tied into a bow.
Conclusion
Of course, the type of shoe depends on the brand, model, design, color. But lacing is not the last thing in this matter. By choosing the right size of laces and lacing them up nicely, you will feel respectable and confident in these boots.
