Q&A for How to Lace Shoes

When first starting to thread the laces through, make sure that the lengths of the laces are even coming out of both sides. If not, keep adjusting.

If the other end is longer, redo it, with the middle area as your starting point.

That is easy using one of the methods above. You should stop at the tie and make sure the shoe is secure and put your lace in your shoe. Works every time.

You can either get new shoelaces, or fold the ones you have enough times for them to be usable.

If, for example, the tongue goes down to the right I use the left-side lace and loop it around the loop sewn onto the tongue to help keep it straight.

Use the lattice method because it looks better on a shoe with five pair of holes. Also, use a longer pair of laces.

Simply replace your regular laces with the no-tie laces by threading them through the eyelets of your shoes. Once threaded, adjust the tension of the laces to your preference, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. Many no-tie laces come with an adjustable locking mechanism that allows you to customize the tension of the laces and lock them in place. After threading the laces through the eyelets, adjust the locking mechanism to secure the laces at your desired tightness. Some no-tie laces feature a loop-and-toggle design. Thread the laces through the eyelets of your shoes as usual, then create a loop with each lace end.

To lace Kickers shoes, start by threading the laces evenly through the bottom eyelets from the outside in, pulling both ends to equal length. Then, use the criss-cross method by feeding each lace into the opposite eyelet from underneath, moving upward, and repeat this until you reach the top. For a clean look, you can tuck the bow inside or double-knot it on top. If your Kickers have extra side eyelets, you can use them for a tighter ankle fit, and always adjust for comfort to ensure both sides are even.

To loosen the toe box, skip the first (bottom) eyelet and start lacing from the second eyelet instead. Then, continue with regular criss-cross lacing up the shoe. At the top, you can use the Heel Lock (Runner's Loop) by lacing into the top eyelet on the same side to make a loop, crossing the laces, and tucking each end into the opposite loop. Pull tight and tie.

To tie your shoelaces into rings, first make a small loop with one lace end. Wrap the loose end of the lace around the base of this loop three to five times, moving towards the shoe. Then, tuck the end of the lace through the center of the loop and pull tightly to secure it. Repeat this process on the other shoe.
