Ian's Shoelace Site - Segmented Lacing

Segmented Lacing Sometimes referred to as "Zoned Lacing"
This variation divides the lacing into two or more "segments", each of which can be laced up as tightly or loosely as necessary to achieve a comfortable yet secure fit for "difficult" shoes or feet.
With shorter laces, the bows can be made smaller to avoid looking too ridiculous! This pic of Puma sneakers with segmented lacing was sent to me by Andrew G. More Lacing Photos	Lacing Technique: 1. Instead of a single long lace in each shoe, start out with two laces, each around half the length of the original shoelace. 2. The first lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is laced with standard Criss Cross Lacing to about the middle of the shoe. 3. Starting from the next higher set of eyelets, the second lace is similarly laced to the top of the shoe. 4. Each "segment" is then tightened to suit your preference and knotted. For example, tighten the bottom segment more if you have narrow feet, less if you have wide feet. FEATURES: Customisable Many uses Looks messy NOTE: This page shows two segments; you may prefer three or more segments, and may also choose to use another lacing instead of "Criss Cross" as shown.
