9 ways to tie your sneakers beautifully
1. Simple straight lacing. To tie your shoelaces perfectly using this method, your shoes must have an even number of pairs.holes. This classic lacing looks very neat. But there is one point here. Not everyone can easily align the ends of the laces. The tail of the first lace is immediately pulled up, and the second is threaded through each hole.
2. Cross lacing. This method is not difficult to perform. It all depends on the number of holes on the shoe. If the shoes have an unpaired number of holes, then you need to start lacing from the inside, and if paired, from above. It is very easy to tie the laces in this way, and the lacing looks beautiful. It also helps reduce wear on the laces.
3. Cross standard lacing can be implemented in a way known to all: after pulling the lace through the lower holes, we bring them out from both ends. The laces are then crossed and passed through the holes to the outside from the inside. Thus, you need to bring them to the top holes and tie.
4. Store lacing. The first end of the lace in this method is passed into the upper opposite hole, and the boot is laced with the second end.
5. Butterfly lace. You can tie laces using this lacing method both on a boot with an even number of holes, and with an odd one. If there is an even number of holes, then first you need to make a straight stitch at the bottom, if an odd number - from above. Similar butterfly-crosses are made in those places where it is necessary to pull off the boot, and gaps can be made in the part where the leg needs freedom.
6. Military lacing is reverse butterfly lacing.
7. Railway. This lacing has a certainresemblance to military lacing. The only difference is that the laces should go from the wrong side, and not diagonally. The method is ideal for thin or flat shoelaces.
8. One hand method. At the bottom, the lacing of this method should look rather loose, but at the top, on the contrary, it should be tight. The method has such a name, because the bow at the end is not important, it is enough to make a knot.
9. "Ladder". These are two lines parallel to each other, behind which there is another zigzag line. The lace must be passed through the lower holes and brought out. The first end is then brought out crosswise through the upper hole, and the second - also crosswise - through a hole that is higher than the previous one.
