Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
3. The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe
before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
4. At the top set of eyelets, the laces can once again cross over and pass under the straight section as shown.
This not only looks consistent with the rest of the lacing but (as pointed out by Kyle B. in U.S.A.) this also
forms a High Lace Lock, which tightens the lacing even more firmly.
Features:

Comparative Length = 127%
Laced area uses more (about +27%)
Longer laces needed (about +13%)
Shortens lace ends (about −25%)

NOTE:
Whilst this lacing looks interesting on shoes and sneakers, it looks particularly effective on high boots with many
eyelets, especially when contrasting laces are used.
Although this lacing is slightly harder to tighten than regular Criss Cross
Lacing, this can actually assist in getting the lacing really tight because the lower sections hold more
firmly whilst progressing up the shoe. This makes it a great lacing to use on hiking boots, ice skates, etc. |
