Loop Back Lacing
Each side loops back on itself down the middle, rather like when two springs become intertwined. However, those loop-backs tend to shift off-centre.
The cover of my book, Laces, comes pre-laced with Loop Back Lacing! More Lacing Photos	Lacing Technique: 1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets. 2. The left (blue) end is spiralled up the left side of the shoe, with the end fed under and emerging from each eyelet. 3. The right (yellow) lace is spiralled up the right side of the shoe, at each eyelet looping through the left (blue) lace in the middle of the shoe before feeding under and emerging from the next eyelet. Features: Decorative look Laces wear more Centreline shifts Comparative Length = 104% Laced area uses more (about +4%) Longer laces needed (about +2%) Shortens lace ends (about −4%) More details Using This Lacing: Loop Back lacing looks best on shoes with thick, round laces, especially light coloured laces on dark coloured shoes. These accentuate the fact that the laces loop back on themselves rather than crossing over each other.
