Display Shoe Lacing
Sometimes referred to as "Triathlon T1 Lacing"
Shoe stores often use this reversed version of Criss Cross Lacing on their display shoes in order to end up with the lace ends neatly tucked away inside. The laces criss-cross and feed into eyelets instead of emerging from them.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets.

2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.

3. Repeat step (2) until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.

NOTE:
Because it's easier to get your fingers under the laces from the top of the shoe and pull down, this lacing is easier to loosen, whilst Criss Cross Lacing is easier to tighten. Triathletes may therefore find this lacing faster for those shoes they need to remove quickly during a race.
