Without being a mathematician, it can be assumed that ways to lace up shoes  enough. But in fact, there are a lot of opportunities for lacing shoes or sneakers in different ways!

You probably can’t even imagine that for an ordinary boot with 6 pairs of holes, mathematics assumes almost 2 ... TRILLION (1,961,990,553,600 !!!) different ways of lacing! Even if we discard all purely hypothetical possibilities (remove the lacing options that are mirror-identical horizontally or vertically), take into account the passage of the lace through each hole of the shoes only once, take into account, among other things, that usually the shoes start to lace from the top pair of holes, that the laces can intertwine in different ways and connect with each other by different nodes between the holes.

In addition to all of the above, taking into account the usual realities of life, the passage of the lace through each hole should subsequently help to pull the halves of the shoes together, and not only contribute to their decoration; what lacing  we have to tighten and relax, and this should not take too much time and effort; the lacing should keep its shape and look beautiful.

I present to your attention a series of original ways of lacing shoes.

1 Traditional Cross-Lacing

The lace is passed through the lower holes and is brought out from both ends. The ends intersect and then pass from the inside out through the holes. Get to the top holes and tie the shoelaces. This method is easy and convenient; crushing a shoe, not a foot.

2 Lacing cross-over

If on a boot odd  the number of pairs of holes, start lacing from the inside (as in the photo of the boot), and if even  - then on top (as in the diagram). This is a very beautiful and simple way, which also reduces the wear of your shoelaces!

3 Simple straight lacing

One end of the lace stretches immediately to the very top, and the other goes through all the holes. Suitable for boots with even  the number of pairs of holes. It is quite difficult to align the ponytails of the laces to tie them, but the lacing looks very neat.

4 Lacing for thickets or cycling

It doesn’t look very good, but the knot of the lace, due to its location on the side (inside for the forest or outside for riding a bicycle), does not cling or untie.

5 Shop lacing

One end of the lace is immediately passed into the upper opposite hole, and the second end gradually laces the entire shoe, making it look like a spiral. This method can be modified by skipping one end not diagonally, but hiding it as in a simple straight lacing (3 way to lace up shoes from this article).

6 Lacing World Wide Web

Very decorative lacing, especially for high boots or boots with contrasting laces. Carefully follow the pattern so as not to get confused (start with a gray segment, the middle of the lace, then one end is shown in blue, the other in yellow).

7 Double back lacing

More economical modification of the lacing method. Shoelaces may work for him, too.

8 Butterfly Lacing

Named for resembling a bow tie. If on a boot odd  the number of pairs of holes, then first make a straight stitch on the top (as in the diagram), if even  - below (as in the photo of the boot). Butterfly crosses can be made on those areas of the boot that need to be pulled down and skipped where the foot can be given a bit of freedom. You can use relatively short shoelaces!

9 Military lacing

This is the reverse version of butterfly lacing. It is named military because soldiers of the British, Dutch, French and Brazilian armies so lace up boots. Well, that looks good, and the laces do not need long ...

10 Lacing Railway

It is very similar to the previous method, only on the wrong side the laces do not go diagonally, but straight. This lacing method is only suitable for thin or flat shoelaces because the shoelaces go through holes twice. That is why the lacing is very durable, but it is difficult to tighten.

11 Lacing double spiral

Beautiful and quick lacing that reduces friction and prolongs the life of your shoelaces. The left and right boot can be laced for symmetry in a mirror image.

12 Lacing

It is difficult to tighten such a lacing, but nevertheless, it is very popular for its decorative effect. To simplify the work, first weave the entire lacing with one end, and then pass the other end of the lace through the grill. Such a lattice can only be woven on boots with 6 pairs of holes.

13 Lattice Lacing

In fact, the same lacing as the previous one, but the laces will fit for it and a little shorter. Economical option.

14 Lacing Zip

This lacing is very difficult to tighten, but it is very strong, which is ideal for lacing skates and rollers. At the same time, it looks like a huge zipper.

15 Lacing with one hand

You don’t even have to tie a bow, just a little knot at one end of the lace. At the top, the lacing is denser, and below it is completely loose. Best used with small holes and thick laces.

16 Segmental knot lacing

You can make the upper and lower halves weaker or more tightened if you wish. With such a lacing, however, it is difficult to put your foot in the boot, as the knot in the middle will interfere.

17 Hidden Knot

Straight lacing stitches look even more original if the bow is not visible. This method will allow you to hide your bow!

18 Two-tone lacing

Very, very beautiful and original lacing. The only thing is discomfort from the knot (maybe stitching or fastening the laces with tape, and not tying them into a knot, and this helps the case?) Ideally, you need to cut two long laces into slightly unequal parts so that the ends are the same length.

19 Double Two Tone Lacing

A very creative way of lacing, which you can beat the colors of the flag of your country or your favorite team. 4 laces can also be tied creatively. If you have boots with odd  number of holes, then you will need shoelaces of different lengths.

20 Lacing back loop

A beautiful version of lacing, which, however, has its drawbacks. First, intersecting loops tend to move out of the middle. Secondly, friction increases the wear of the laces. It will look gorgeous if you make it two-tone.

21 Lacing with knots

An additional unit at each step of the lacing increases its strength and improves appearance. The method is ideal for lacing ski boots, rollers, etc. Loosening the lacing is very problematic.

22 Twisted Lacing

Beautiful sturdy lacing, which is also difficult to loosen. Particularly decorative weaves look with thick round white laces on boots in a contrasting dark color.

23 Roman numerals

It looks especially nice on shoes without a gap between the halves. You can vary the number and location of XX and II depending on the number of holes on your shoes.

24 Lacing for football

For playing soccer, it’s convenient to create a kind of bowl from your boots, so that it is easier to control the tossed and caught ball. Of course, the shoes lose their shape, but for the sake of the interests of the game you can suffer! This is one of at least four lacing options, then three more will be presented.

25 Lacing method for soccer (Sox)

All four lacing methods combine long stitches around the edges, pulling the halves of the boots out. The top of the lacing can be done in another way, not like in the diagram and photograph.

26 Lacing option for soccer (Sox)

With this method of lacing the edges of the shoe diverge wider than when using the first two.
  To further increase the opening, you can start lacing not the third pair of holes from the bottom, but even higher (and do not use it, skip the third or other pair of holes at all).

27   Well, this is a separate song! Lacing  without beginning and end.

Weave out shoelaces  canvas, and you will never have to tie them again! :)

28   Way for keen macrame :)

Need long shoelaces  and a lot of patience.

29   Lacing goes through the boot twice, so you will need laces are authentic!

30   Pretty simple, but spectacular nonetheless lacing method.

The bow is in the middle, not the top.

31   Simplicity combined with elegance in perpendicular segments lacing  outside and oblique inside.

32   Pretty economical way, you won’t need too long shoelaces.

It looks very simple and concise.

33   Original design: perpendicular segments lacing  outside combined with a zigzag inside.

34   Do not be discouraged if you have not found long shoelaces.

It’s enough to buy a pair short shoelaces  for everybody boot! True, you will have to spend twice as much time for lacing every morning!

35 The original way  Merezhka: and shoelaces  long is not necessary, and looks interesting enough.

36   The method can be called puzzle :)

For not weak spirit. But if you don’t get confused in the process lacingget a very beautiful result!

Now imagine how cool it would be if, in addition to the original lacing method, you’ll use the original bright shoelaces! Your sneakers or shoes will simply not be recognized!

Want to give athletic shoes a bit of creativity? Well, learn to beautifully lace up your favorite sneakers and sneakers. To keep the shoes on their feet, it is enough to walk a few times with a lace in the holes along the edges. With our help, you can give your appearance more convenience, elegance and gloss. For lacing you will need several pairs of multi-colored shoelaces of different lengths, a little patience and creativity.

Traditional lacing "Zigzag"

The fastest and therefore most popular way to lace up with one long cord, which is passed through the lower holes with the ends facing out. Before you cross the laces, their ends are aligned in length: how many pairs of holes in the sneakers, how many crosshairs will be on the lacing. With such a lacing, the shoes can be easily removed, and since the entire lace is outside, it does not rub the foot.

New european

This is a double lacing with one long lace, which is widely used in the European sports industry. It also starts from the bottom holes, the laces go out from the two ends, one of which is passed crosswise through the top holes, and the other laces the front of the shoe in a straight line. The zigzag ensures reliability, even if the laces are untied during movement, but the lacing strength is not weakened.

Classic straight

All types of lacing of sneakers are attractive in their own way, but a straight or rectangular lacing looks the most aesthetically pleasing, since inside the shoe no internal zigzags are visible. It starts from the bottom, the lace is threaded with the ends inward, one of which must be raised to the first hole and stretched to the opposite. Then the movement is mirrored: the string goes down and again stretches into the opposite hole. The action must be performed until all the holes are laced.

Lace up knot

  This is a regular cross-lacing with a knot in the middle so that the laces do not untie when walking. The difficulty for the athlete will be that with this kind of lacing, sneakers are not easy to put on.

Extreme lacing

A lightweight version of the classic straight lacing, when the inner ends are pulled up and alternately poke into adjacent holes. With such a lacing, one end of the lace will be skipped twice over the entire length, so it should be as many times longer. Extreme lacing is popular among young people, as it is easy to perform, there are no zigzag and knots inside, but it is only suitable for shoes with an even number of holes.

Sawtooth Lacing

Some options for lacing sneakers are selected for the style of sportswear. Your sawtooth shoe will look very fashionable. It is made with one long cord, which runs into the lower holes inward from two ends. Then one string is let out through the next hole, and the other rises two loops up and stretches from the opposite side. You need to lace up to the very top, and then swap the ends so that the one you need to lace up vertically now runs obliquely. The lacing is easily tightened and, if one end has become a little longer, pull it short enough. The lacing is beautiful, but when the sneakers will be laced all the time in this way, due to the constant tension in one direction, the corners of the shoes from above can bend and cause discomfort when walking.

Twisted lacing

This type is referred more to the decorative one, women's shoes and high boots are trimmed with such lacing. It is difficult to loosen, but easy to tie. To do this, remember the rules of the crosshairs in the classic version of lacing, and each time during the twisting, do it twice.

Showcase or shop lacing

It looks very stylish and attractive, the ends of the laces are hidden inside the sneakers. Alternately, the laces are passed through one hole and brought out from the bottom up, at the end they should be crossed from above and separated on opposite sides. There are several options for store lacing, we offer you the simplest one - when one lace is threaded from the bottom up into the opposite hole, and the other gradually laces the entire shoe. One string should be three times longer than the other. The lacing is similar to the vertical, very tight and durable, after it the shoes look neat and attractive. But to evenly lace up, you will need skill, because you will choose each pair of lacing loops with your hands from the bottom up, and this will require a lot of effort and time. Showcase lacing is decorative, it is most effective if you pick up laces of different colors for it.

Butterfly lacing

She visually lengthens short shoelaces, is a decorative element in the decoration of women's shoes. Butterfly is unusually simple in execution. Pass the lace through the lower holes, align its ends and take them inward. We stretch each lace vertically to the next hole. You will get a small space. Pass the laces from below, and cross them at the top and lower them inward again until the next pair of holes. Shoelaces are found at the top and tied "on the bow." If you want, you can increase the number of spaces - so even on long boots you can get 2-3 large butterflies. Select laces not to match the product, but rather, excellent in tone, disharmonious and bright.

Lacing "Military"

If you have mastered the option "Butterflies", then the military is a mirror image. Everything that you did inside, now you need to do outside. Almost the entire European army thus laces boots and soldier's boots. She needs long shoelaces, which are also aligned before starting lacing.

Lacing "Rails"

In appearance it resembles a railway very much. Since the lace gets into each hole twice, the laces themselves must be thin. Due to the fact that every time after the laces come out they cross, it is very durable. But, referring to the category of decorative, before going out for a walk, you have to tinker with the lacing in order to tighten it properly. Shoelaces can be hidden inside, but can be left on top tied "on a bow."

There are many options for lacing shoes and sneakers. Here is some of them.

Durable knot: we knit securely

Do not be lazy and tie a bow on the laces as shown in the picture. As a result, you get a very durable and neat knot.

A stylish person should be stylish in everything, even in such seemingly trifles as lacing sneakers. According to many respected experts in the fashion world, it is precisely such trifles that make up a single personal harmonious style of a person. So, more about the most simple and incredibly interesting types of lacing sneakers.

1. Perhaps the simplest common type of lacing is cross-stitch. To do this, you need a lace of at least 114 cm, while pulling the lace must be strictly crosswise.

2. A subtype of cross-lacing is considered to be interchangeable cross-lacing, where the intersections of the laces are performed alternately above and below. For this method, a lace with a length of 114 cm is also suitable.

3. For high shoes with lacing with many holes, double spiral lacing is perfect. A regular criss-cross is performed here, while the length of the lace should also be at least 114 cm.

4. Lacing straight bar is considered more refined and unusual. This is a fairly popular and at the same time elegant method, which is most suitable for leisure shoes. However, it should be borne in mind that only shoes with an even number of eyes are suitable for this method. This is necessary so that the "lace" evenly ended and were interconnected. There will be enough lace 100 cm long.

5. Simple straight lacing is quick method  parallel lacing. In order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe effectiveness of this method, it is enough to make just a couple of eyes. The length of the lace should be from 100 cm.

6. In Europe, European straight lacing is considered the traditional method of straight lacing. It combines straight and criss-cross elements, which allows you to lace up your shoes almost hermetically. The optimal lace length is 116 cm.

7. On the shelves of shoe stores, you can often consider shop lacing. The effect is achieved by reverse lacing from the right and left shoes, which provides a symmetrical look. The length of the lace should be at least 118 cm.

8. The sawtooth lacing is based on three sections at right angles, and then reverse lacing is performed to ensure perfect lifting of the foot. The length of the lace should be at least 116 cm.

9. Very similar to the "store" is the lacing of the zipper. There are absolutely no horizontal sections, because all lacing works diagonally and looks like a zipper. The length of the lace should be at least 118 cm.

10. Another kind of straight parallel with lacing inside out lying loops is bicycle lacing. The fact is that for safe cycling, the loops must be located on the street so that the nodes are as far from the chains as possible. The length of the lace should be at least 100 cm.

11. Strict and at the same time universal is the lacing of the railway. It got its name due to the fact that the internal segments are located directly, like tracks on the railway. For this method, only strong and dense shoelaces with a length of at least 120 cm are used.

12. Butterfly lacing is very interesting and feminine. As a rule, it is used for shoes with a small lace (from 94 cm), while the method consists of ordinary cross-laces, reducing pressure on the foot.

13. But for army boots use military lacing. The fact is that army boots are made of very tough leather, and eliminating the upper lacing intersections can make walking easier and more comfortable. The length of the lace should be at least 94 cm.

14. The Roman lacing looks like Roman numerals, namely the variables XIX in the upper part of the shoe in the upper part of the shoe. The visual effect increases when the upper parts of the skin are aligned with each other. The length of the lace should be at least 100 cm.

15. A very interesting and elegant method is lacing a tangled track. Here you need to carefully monitor the ends of the lace, as there is the opportunity to simply lose them. The length of the lace should be at least 115 cm.

16. With the method of lacing the lattice - the laces intersect at right angles. In order to see the effectiveness of this method, there must be at least six pairs of eyes. The length of the lace should be at least 115 cm.

17. With boot lacing, it is necessary to make zigzag intersections from both ends to the middle, then the laces are knotted and then the same zigzag intersections from both ends. This lacing is usually used as a decorative element with a zipper. The length of the lace should be at least 118 cm.

18. Zigzag lacing is only suitable for shoes with invisible segments through which lace also runs. This method allows you to securely fix the leg, and the length of the lace should be at least 120 cm.

19. To work with round laces, chain lacing is best suited. For the most spectacular look, you can use two shoelaces of different colors, connected by a flat knot, which is hidden under the eye. The length of the lace should be at least 117 cm.

20. For tight round laces, lacing the web is perfect. This method looks best on very high boots, while the lace can contrast with the color of the skin. The length of the lace should be at least 127 cm.

21. Asterix lacing requires sets of three pairs of laces with a crossover. The result is a pattern - stars. The length of the lace should be at least 108 cm.

22. One of the safest and most interesting techniques is closed lacing. It prevents slipping off the heel, thereby ensuring the safety of the ankle, which is especially true for professional athletes. The length of the lace should be at least 117 cm.

1 Traditional Cross-Lacing
The lace is passed through the lower holes and is brought out from both ends.
The ends intersect and then pass from the inside out through the holes. Get to the top holes and tie the shoelaces. This method is easy and convenient; crushing a shoe, not a foot.

2 Lacing cross-over
Favorite Scheme of Ian Fieggen
If the boot has an odd number of pairs of holes, start lacing from the inside (as in the boot photo), and if even - then from the top (as in the diagram). This is a very beautiful and simple way, which also reduces the wear of your shoelaces!

3 Simple straight lacing

One end of the lace stretches immediately to the very top, and the other goes through all the holes. Suitable for shoes with an even number of pairs of holes.
It is quite difficult to align the ponytails of the laces to tie them, but the lacing looks very neat.

4 Lacing for thickets or cycling

The reverse version of the fifth lacing from the article on original ways of lacing shoes
It doesn’t look very good, but the knot of the lace, due to its location on the side (inside for the forest or outside for riding a bicycle), does not cling or untie.

5 Shop lacing
One end of the lace is immediately passed into the upper opposite hole, and the second end gradually laces the entire shoe, making it look like a spiral. This method can be modified by skipping one end not diagonally, but hiding it as in a simple straight lacing (3 way to lace up shoes from this article).

6 Lacing World Wide Web
Very decorative lacing, especially for high boots or boots with contrasting laces. Carefully follow the pattern so as not to get confused (start with a gray segment, the middle of the lace, then one end is shown in blue, the other in yellow).

7 Double back lacing
A more economical modification of the second lacing method from the article on the original ways of lacing shoes.
Shoelaces may work for him, too.
8 Butterfly Lacing
Named for resembling a bow tie. If the boot has an odd number of pairs of holes, first make a straight stitch on the top (as in the diagram), if even - on the bottom (as in the boot photo). Butterfly crosses can be made on those areas of the boot that need to be pulled down and skipped where the foot can be given a bit of freedom. You can use relatively short shoelaces!
9 Military lacing
This is the reverse version of butterfly lacing. It is named military because soldiers of the British, Dutch, French and Brazilian armies so lace up boots. Well, that looks good, and the laces do not need long ...

10 Lacing Railway
It is very similar to the previous method, only on the wrong side the laces do not go diagonally, but straight. This lacing method is only suitable for thin or flat shoelaces because the shoelaces go through holes twice. That is why the lacing is very durable, but it is difficult to tighten.
11 Lacing double spiral
Beautiful and quick lacing that reduces friction and prolongs the life of your shoelaces. The left and right boot can be laced for symmetry in a mirror image.
12 Lacing
It is difficult to tighten such a lacing, but nevertheless, it is very popular for its decorative effect. To simplify the work, first weave the entire lacing with one end, and then pass the other end of the lace through the grill. Such a lattice can only be woven on boots with 6 pairs of holes or a large number of them.

13 Lattice Lacing
In fact, the same lacing as the previous one, but the laces will fit for it and a little shorter. Economical option.
14 Lacing Zip
This lacing is very difficult to tighten, but it is very strong, which is ideal for lacing skates and rollers. At the same time, it looks like a huge zipper.
15 Lacing with one hand
You don’t even have to tie a bow, just a little knot at one end of the lace. At the top, the lacing is denser, and below it is completely loose. Best used with small holes and thick laces.

16 Segmental knot lacing
Continues the idea of \u200b\u200bthe seventh lacing from an article on original ways of lacing shoes. You can make the upper and lower halves weaker or more tightened if you wish. With such a lacing, however, it is difficult to put your foot in the boot, as the knot in the middle will interfere.
17 Hidden Knot
Straight lacing stitches look even more original if the bow is not visible. This method will allow you to hide your bow!
18 Two-tone lacing
Very, very beautiful and original lacing. The only thing is discomfort from the knot (maybe stitch or fasten the laces with tape, and not tie them into a knot, and will this help the case?). Ideally, you need to cut two long shoelaces into slightly unequal parts so that the ends are as a result of the same length.

Consider the most popular methods of tying shoelaces that can be used for any shoe.

1. Classic (cross) lacing. The most common lacing method is when the laces pass through the lower lugs to the top and simply cross each other to the very end. This is the easiest lacing, in which the foot is not rubbed, but the shoes are wrinkled.

2. A kind of traditional lacing. It is necessary to alternate the laces first from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top of the lugs while crossing the laces. This will result in a more interesting lacing, in which the shoes will be easier to tighten or loosen, and the laces will wear less (photo 2.1). If the sneakers have an odd number of pairs of holes, then you need to lace up from bottom to top so that the last lace is also inside (photo 2.2).

3. European straight lacing - the shoe sits quite tightly on the foot and in case of foot injury the laces are pretty easy to cut in order to quickly take off the shoes. Therefore, this lacing is recommended for athletes and the military. In addition, straight lacing looks beautiful on model shoes.

Lacing:

The lace passes through the lower holes and exits at both ends.
The first end of the lace (yellow) crosses out through the upper eyelet.
The other end of the lace (blue) crosses above through one eyelet.
Continue lacing one at a time with one and then the other with a string.

4. Fashionable (straight) lacing - it looks very neat, but it can only be done on shoes with an even number of pairs of eyes.

Although many are trying to make it with an odd number of holes. This method is a bit complicated in execution, but, nevertheless, quite popular.

Technique of execution:

The lace passes through the lower holes into the boot from both ends;
one end passes into the upper eye on the right and after that extends directly to the left;
the two ends go up and out through the same hole, then they go to the other side and go higher;
the process continues until one of the laces reaches the top;
the other end of the lace passes through the remaining eyelet at the top.

5. Lacing "Ladder" looks spectacular on high shoes with contrasting laces, can be used to shorten the laces, while the shoes are tightened tightly.

Lacing Technique:

The lace passes through the lower holes and is pulled out from each end.
Next, the ends of the lace are passed up into the following holes.
The laces are crossed and threaded under the vertical lacing of the opposite side and then lifted into the next upper eye.
At the end, the laces cross again, pass under a vertical lacing and diverge in both directions.

6. Lacing with a hidden knot - a kind of fashionable (straight) lacing, in which the yellow end of the lace remains longer, and at the end a simple knot is tied and the laces are hidden.

7. Double helix lacing is used for quick lacing, which is held in a spiral inside and out. This makes it easy to tighten and loosen the lacing. For symmetry, shoes can be laced mirrored.

8. Double cross lacing can be done with spaces (short shoelaces) and without spaces (long shoelaces). It looks very original on low shoes or sneakers.

9. The grille (cobweb) is one of the most popular lacing. Shoelaces intersect at an acute angle, which allows them to intertwine with each other. Looks impressive with wide laces and sneakers with 6 pairs of eyes. There are several options for such a lacing, depending on the length of the laces.

You can try to make a similar lacing from two multi-colored laces. The laces should not be very thick, otherwise they just will not crawl into the holes. It’s hard to tighten and tie such a lacing, but I think it's worth it. It looks very cool.

10. Lacing with a zipper. This decorative lacing is perfect for rollers, skates or any other shoe that needs solid support, it is difficult to tighten.

11. Lacing with one hand - for people with disabilities  You can use this lacing. The left and right sneakers can be tied mirrored for symmetry. In order to tighten the shoes you need to start from the top, and vice versa (from bottom to top) to loosen the lacing. The node must be done at the upper right end. For reliability, use wider, sturdy laces.

12. For fashionistas who want a lacing more fun, we can advise two-tone lacing. At the same time, you can choose the colors to match the clothes or shoes, and to tie the four ends of the lacing come creatively.

13. Chess lacing - looks amazing on free sneakers. In order to complete it, you must first make a straight (fashionable) lacing (photo 4 option 2) with a lace of the same color (in the orange diagram), and then with a different color just weave around the orange lace, starting from the bottom, until it ends. The ends of the laces just tie inside. Use wide shoelaces.

14. Lacing the reverse loop also looks interesting with multi-colored laces, thereby emphasizing their interweaving.

We start tying shoelaces from the kindergarten. Sneakers, sneakers, classic shoes and boots - everything involves lacing. This is so boring to many that they switch to shoes of closed type or with fasteners in the form of locks and Velcro. However, most do not even think about the fact that lacing can be not only a shoe fixer on the foot, but also a beautiful accessory that will attract attention on the street. In order to learn how to lace up shoes beautifully, it is necessary to study different types of shoe lacing.

You can consider several classifications of lacing.

The first is distinguished about the use: official (otherwise classic) and informal. Everyone understands that it is inappropriate to come to business negotiations in shoes laced with multi-colored strings by a ladder, and, similarly, at a youth party there will be a preference for a young man who does not wear a strict suit and shoes, standardly laced, but in bright sneakers with interesting lacing.

The classic types of lacing include:

1. Cross lacing. Shoelaces are displayed in the lower holes, the ends are pulled equal in length, crossed and threaded into the holes one level higher through the inside of the shoe. Thus, the laces are brought up and tightened. This method is rightfully the most popular, due to its simplicity and speed of execution.
2. European style lacing. This lacing is unusual, but at the same time laconic and restrained, it will add elegance to your image. We pass the lace into the bottom row of holes from the outside to the inside. The left part of the lace is inserted into the right third (bottom) hole from the inside and parallel to the right from the outside. We take the right end, insert into the second hole from the bottom left up and into a parallel hole from the outside to the right. We thread this end under the left drawstring and withdraw into the fourth hole from the bottom row on the right side from the inside, in a similar pattern, move the remaining holes.

Informal types of lacing include.

1. Lacing with straight lines. It looks very unusual and interesting, especially on sports shoes such as sneakers or sneakers. The lace fits into the bottom row of holes from the outside in. The left end is threaded into the third hole from the inside, then displayed in a parallel hole on the right side, the right part of the lace is threaded into the second hole from the inside, then it is thrown in parallel to the left side. Then that end, which turned out to be on the right, is threaded into the fifth hole, counting from the bottom, and again parallel to the left side. The lace that was on the left is inserted into the fourth hole and is thrown to the right side in a straight line. Continue to follow this pattern to the very top and get the lacing in the form of parallel lines.
2. Cascading lacing. It is very simple in execution, but at the same time it looks fresh. Lace draws into the bottom row from above. The right end hangs into the next hole, is parallelly transferred to the right side (from top to bottom), then diagonally goes to the left side into the fourth hole from the beginning. The right end is inserted under the lacing into the third hole on the right, and is inserted in a straight line into the third hole on the left (from the outside to the inside). These are the diagonals and move to the top.

The second classification can be associated with the number of holes in the shoe: with 5 holes, with 6 holes, with 7 and so on.

For shoes with 5 holes, butterfly-style lacing is fine. The lace is threaded into the shoes from the inside out (bottom row). The left and right ends creep into the next holes without intersecting. After that they go crosswise, and the right end fits into the third hole on the left from the inside and a similar left goes to the right side. After the shoelaces are threaded into the higher holes, and the procedure is repeated.

If your shoe has 6 holes, then in this case, military lacing is suitable. To do this, the lace is threaded into the bottom row from the bottom up, the ends rise into the next hole, then the right and left lace are overlapped and they are threaded into the second holes, only on the opposite side. Using this technique, lace up to the top.

If you decide to diversify your look with unusual lacing, pay attention to interesting models of the laces themselves: colored, with patterns, glowing in the dark, with a beast print, wide, narrow, with rhinestones. Combine different options, and your one pair of sneakers will look new and fresh every time.

A little tip! Do not expect to lace up with unusual lacing the first time. Sometimes you have to work out, so take care of it long before you go outside, check out the photo of shoes with one or another lacing, see if it works out the same way or should still exercise, but refuse such a decorative solution in an image like lacing, for sure not worth it.
