How to tie shoelaces

Delicate your feet - 24 ways to tie shoelaces

1. Cross method:

1. Tie the shoelaces from the bottom to the bottom (gray part) goes straight in and up from under each eyelet.

2. Cross the shoelace heads and pass them through the other two shoe holes.

3. Repeat this process until the shoelaces pass through the top two shoe holes.

Evaluation: Whether the traditional simple comfort is wrinkled

Remarks:

This is a comfortable tying method that is popular among everyone, mainly because of the laces The intersection part is just at the groove in the middle of the uppers on both sides, so it will not squeeze the top of the foot.

2. Up-and-down tying method:

1. Pass the shoelace head straight through the bottom (gray part) and out from the top of each shoe hole downwards.

2. Cross the shoelace heads from below and pass through the second pair of shoe holes from bottom to top, then cross from above and insert into the third pair of shoe holes.

3. Repeat this process until the shoelaces pass through the top two shoe holes.

Evaluation: Decoration, convenience, less wear and tear

Remarks: If the shoe holes are an odd number of pairs (as in the picture on the left, 7 pairs = 14 holes), start wearing the shoes from the bottom (gray part) The laces should be worn from bottom to top to ensure that the laces cross the bottom pair when they reach the top pair of eyelets.

3. Straight tying method (European style):

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into the two bottom shoes hole.

2. Pass one end of the shoelace (yellow end) diagonally from bottom to top and pass straight through the other shoe hole in the second horizontal row.

3. The other end of the shoelace (blue end) passes diagonally from bottom to top through the third row of shoe holes and straightly into the other shoe hole.

4. Repeat the operation, alternating the two shoelace heads.

Evaluation: The surface of the shorter shoelace head is smooth and the bottom is messy

Remarks: When the gap between the parts that need to be tied together on both sides of the upper is too large, the lower part of the shoelace will be messy. It's obvious (as shown in the picture on the left). Although it looks messy, this crisscross keeps the laces tight and reassuring.

Military Recommendation: The straight system is recommended for military use. Partly because of its safety, and partly because when the foot is injured, a knife or scissors can be used to quickly cut the straight part of the shoelace so that the boot can be taken off. However, it is said that the US military, which has strict regulations on everything, made the following statement about their standard black leather combat boots: "Military boots should be tied diagonally with black laces, and the extra-long part should be tucked into the top of the boots under the loose trousers. , or wrapped around the top of the boots. "It seems that the straight tie method (European style) is at least against the regulations of the US military. It is recommended that military personnel check and adopt this method, or other informal lacing methods.

4. Straight tying method (popular style):

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into the two bottom ends. Shoe holes.

2. Pass one end of the shoelace (yellow end) from bottom to top along the right side and pass it straight through the other shoe hole in the second horizontal row.

3. Then pass the two ends of the shoelace through a shoe hole on the left side.

4. Continue to pass the two ends of the shoelace horizontally, and then pass them upwards two by two until one end passes through the top shoe hole.

5. Pass the other end of the shoelace horizontally through the second-to-last row of shoe holes, and then pass straight up through the top shoe hole.

Evaluation: The most beautiful and slightly difficult. It only applies to even-numbered pairs of shoe holes (for example: 6 pairs, 8 pairs).

Remarks: This method only applies to even-numbered pairs of shoe holes. Outside of shoes, there are ways to break through this limitation, as shown in the picture on the left (leaving the top row of shoe holes empty). Here are a few other workarounds.

Workarounds for odd-numbered pairs of eyelets:

Although the straight lacing method (popular style) is only suitable for shoes with even-numbered pairs of eyelets (e.g. 6 pairs = 12 eyelets ), but the use of this method is still widespread. This method is said to be required for Canadian Air Force shoes and low-top boots (except combat boots). It’s no wonder that many people try their best to tie shoes with odd pairs of shoe holes (for example: 7 pairs = 14 shoe holes) using this method. Here are a few examples:

Workarounds for odd-numbered pairs of eyelets-1----Skip a row of eyelets: The easiest way is to skip the top or bottom row of eyelets. . Use even pairs of eyelets to overcome the limitations of odd pairs. Of course, you can also skip the middle row of shoe holes, so that the tied shoelaces will be divided into upper and lower parts.

Workaround for odd-numbered pairs of shoe holes - 2---- Diagonal piercing: Use a diagonal piercing at the bottom or top. Of course, if it is at the top, it will be more hidden due to the curvature and shoelace head. When wearing the bottom diagonally, you can go around the inside of the tongue, which looks beautiful, but will cause slight discomfort on the top of the foot.

Workaround for odd-numbered pairs of shoe holes-3----cut the shoelaces:

p>

The shoelaces can be cut in the middle of the diagonal part. The cut shoelace heads can be knotted or buckled and stuffed into the upper of the shoe.

However, the obvious consequence of this is slight discomfort on the feet

Workaround for odd pairs of shoe holes - 4----Double wear:

This unconventional method is to tie the shoelaces on The penultimate row of shoe holes at the bottom crosses twice. Since it is close to the sole of the shoe and the shoe is generally not opened to this position, the problem of the shoe being tied too tight is not obvious.

5. Straight tying method (lazy style) method:

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into the two bottom ends. A shoe hole.

2. Pass one end of the shoelace head (the blue end) up through the topmost shoelace hole along the left side.

3. The other end of the shoelace (yellow end) goes straight up the right side and passes through the second row of shoe holes.

4. Pull the same end (yellow end) up and back through the remaining eyelets.

Evaluation: The most beautiful one is only suitable for shoes with an even number of shoe holes (for example: 6 pairs = 12 shoe holes). Shoelace head length adjustment

Note: This method is limited to even numbers. Shoes with pairs of shoe holes (eg: 6 pairs = 12 shoe holes). The example on the left is a breakthrough and modification for shoes with an odd number of pairs of shoe holes (eg: 7 pairs = 14 shoe holes).

6. Zigzag tying method:

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into the two shoe holes at the bottom.

2. Pass one end of the shoelace (yellow end) straight up along the right side and crosswise through the second row of shoe holes.

3. The other end of the shoelace (blue end) jumps over the second row of shoe holes, passes diagonally from below, and passes through the third row of shoe holes on the right side.

4. Continue to pass the two shoelace heads upwards through the shoe holes until one end (yellow head in the illustration) passes through the top shoe hole on the right side.

5. The other end of the shoelace (the blue end in the illustration) goes straight up the left side and passes through the uppermost shoe hole on the left side.

Evaluation: Easy to tie both sides, easy to deflect and suitable for correction

Application of zigzag tying method:

This tying method may be better than other straight tying methods It is easier to tie because the flat parts of the surface are all pulling in the same direction. However, since the diagonal parts below are also pulled in the same direction, the two sides of the shoe are pulled out at an angle internally. The results of this "deformation" may be used to correct ill-fitting shoes.

The method is to tie the shoelaces with the diagonal part facing the loose part of the shoe. For example: If the left front of the left shoe (little toe area) feels a little loose, when tying the shoelaces, point the diagonal part in that direction. After tightening, the left side of the shoe will be drawn back and inward. This effectively causes the shoe to "deform" a little to the right. Of course, the shoes on the left and right feet should be tied in reverse (mirror operation) so that the appearance and function of the two shoes are consistent.

7. Shoe store tying method:

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into the two shoe holes at the bottom.

2. Pull the left end (blue end) of the shoelace diagonally to the top shoe hole on the right side and pass it out.

3. Pass the right end (yellow end) of the shoelace through the remaining shoe holes in a zigzag shape.

Evaluation: The lazy tying method reduces the remaining length of the shoelace head and adjusts the length of the shoelace head

Remarks: The left and right shoes can be tied in the opposite direction (mirror operation) so that the final look symmetry.

It is said that the shoe shop tying method was the recommended shoe tying method for the British Army. "Easy to tie and knot when you need to get going quickly in cold weather!" As with other straight lacing methods, a knife or scissors can be used to quickly cut the laces so the boots can be removed when feet are injured.

8. Show the shoe tying method, also known as the "triathlon T1 tying method":

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into (not out of) the two bottom eyelets.

2. Cross the shoelace heads and thread them through the second row of shoe holes again.

3. Repeat this process until the laces are threaded through the top two eyelets (ending on the inside of the shoe).

Evaluation: Neat appearance, easy to untie but difficult to tie

Note: Because it is easy to put your fingers under the laces at the top of the shoe and pull them down, this method of tying is easier. It is easier to untie and tie crosswise at the same time. Triathletes save time when they need to take off their shoes during a race.

9. Rope ladder tying method:

1. Pass the shoelace head straight through the two shoe holes at the bottom (gray part) from bottom to top.

2. Thread the two ends of the shoelaces straight up into the second row of shoe holes.

3. Cross the laces and thread them under the laces on the other vertical side before threading them up into the next row of eyelets.

4. At the top shoe eyelet, cross the two shoelace heads again and pass under the vertical part, and then tie them tightly.

Evaluation: Neat and decorative. The shorter shoelace head is more difficult to tie

Notes: This method of tying is interesting on both ordinary shoes and sports shoes, but especially on shoes with shoes. This works better on high-waisted boots with lots of eyelets (especially with contrasting laces).

10. Double back tying method:

1. Thread the shoelaces straight through the second row of shoe holes (gray part) above.

2. Cross the two ends of the shoelaces, jump over the third row of shoe holes and insert them into the fourth row of shoe holes.

3. Continue downward and pass through both rows of shoe holes.

4. After passing through the two bottom shoe holes, go up two by two and pass through the empty shoe holes.

Evaluation: The remaining shoelaces are shorter and difficult to tie tightly

11. Bow tie method

Method:

1. Thread the shoelace head straight from the bottom (gray part) from top to bottom into the two shoe holes at the bottom.

2. Thread the shoelaces from the inside up (the dotted line part) to the next row of shoe holes, leaving a "gap".

3. Cross the shoelace heads and insert them into the next row of shoe holes.

4. Continue to wear it upwards, straight on the inside, and cross on the top.

Evaluation: The remaining shoelaces are longer and comfortable, and the "upper area" is loose.

Remarks: In addition to leaving a gap in each even row, it can also be tied according to the shoe needs. Choose the lacing position in a tight area (as shown in the picture), which can give the feet more "breathing space".

12. Double helix lacing method:

1. Starting from the bottom, pass the left (blue) end of the shoelace through the left eyelet from bottom to top, while the right (yellow) end of the shoelace passes through the right eyelet from top to bottom.

2. Pass the left (blue) end through the second row of shoe holes on the right side, while the right (yellow) end passes through the second row of shoe holes on the left side from bottom to top.

3. Repeat this process in a double helix fashion until both ends of the shoelace pass through the top eyelet.

Evaluation: Decoration, convenience, unevenness

Remarks: The left and right shoes can be tied in opposite directions (mirror operation) so that they look symmetrical in the end.

Application of the double helix tying method:

The idea of ??this tying method is to reduce the friction between the shoelaces and the edge of the shoe upper. Combined with the negligible friction in the overlapping parts of the shoelaces, the friction is reduced even more. Two adjacent sets of shoelaces can be pulled at the same time, making tightening and loosening easier and faster.
