The ability to tie shoelaces is one of the basic self-care skills that we learn back in early childhood. Having mastered it once, few people think about the fact that it is possible to lace up shoes in some other way than as mom once showed.

Completely in vain! An ornate rope pattern on boots can be a small but memorable highlight of your everyday look.

What are the laces?

It happens that shoes wear out much more slowly than laces. And frayed and stained ropes, and even tied in a bow, can greatly spoil the look of even luxury shoes, making them sloppy and untidy. In this case, the question arises of choosing new ties.

What types of laces does the range offer?

• flat- perhaps the most common type of ties. Used in sports sneakers and everyday sneakers. Securely fix shoes on the foot.
• Round- most often seen on classic models with a small number of lacing holes. They are used more as an accessory than a fixation element.
• "Hickies" or "Lazy Laces"- are bending thin strips of plastic with rivets. You don't have to tie your laces with them! They look great on bright sports shoes and sneakers.
• LED- appeared on the wave of popularity of sneakers with luminous soles. To this day, they are quite popular, albeit a kind of accessory for shoes. among young people whose life is connected with parties. There are several varieties of luminous shoelaces - battery-operated round ones and flat ones impregnated with fluorescent paint.

Attention! Round laces should not be pulled tight. Because of their shape, they will put pressure on the blood vessels and cause a lot of discomfort when walking.

Among other things, pay attention to the material from which the laces are made.

The market leader is synthetics, as it is the most wear-resistant and non-marking, but in addition to it, you can find strings from:

• Leather (natural and artificial) - for lacing classic shoes.
• Cotton and jute - for sports and casual models.

The video shows what lazy shoe laces are:

Bow lace options

Ladder

If you do it right, you'll get on your boots drawing emitting a ladder:

1. Pass both ends of the cord into the inside of the boot, so that you get a “straight” line from the bottom.
2. Align the length so that the left side is equal to the right.
3. Thread the lace on the right into the hole opposite the row above - the thread should come out from the outside. Then return it to the right row in the parallel hole.
4. Thread the string on the left into the free hole on the right (two rows higher) and then thread it into the parallel slot on the left.
5. Continue lacing until you see a characteristic pattern consisting of straight lines on the outer row and zigzags on the inner row.

Zipper

This type of lacing is more like weaving and is quite time consuming.

But the spectacular result is worth all the effort!

1. Pass the thread from the inside through the bottom holes, and pull it out. The left side must be equal to the right.
2. Pull both ends under the loop formed and cross so that the left end is above the right.
3. Pass the laces through the following holes, and weave in the same way as in the previous step.
4. Repeat the steps until the end until you get a pattern that resembles a zipper.

Center loop

This type of lacing is especially looks spectacular if you use a two-color lace (for example, the left side is white, the right side is black).

1. Pull the cord from the inside and pull both ends of the thread out - make sure they are the same length.
2. Weave the left and right ends together, wrapping one around the other.
3. Pass the left side of the lace through the left hole, the right side through the right hole.

Repeat the steps until you get a pattern consisting of parallel knots in the center.

suitcase

This lacing looks fun on sneakers and any other shoe with wide lacing hole spacing. There must be at least 6 in each row.

1. Pass the tie through the third holes from the bottom and align in length.
2. Insert the left and right ends of the cord into the holes below them and take them out a row below.
3. Pass the laces through the third holes from the top (above the very beginning of weaving).
4. Lace up the remaining rows with a classic zigzag and tie in a bow. As a result, you should get the shape of a “pouch” or suitcase.

Chaotic diamonds

This pattern looks beautiful if you use flat bright laces. Suitable for sports shoes.

Technique:

1. Pass both ends of the cord through the bottom holes on the inside and pull out.
2. Flatten.
3. Weave them so that the left side is above the right.
4. Pass both ends through the holes 4 rows higher on the outside and then through the third holes from the bottom on the inside.
5. Repeat weaving to the very edge to get a pattern of angular diamonds.

Lace options without a bow

Lacing without a bow looks neat and concise. It also reduces the chance of unlacing while running or walking.

chess canvas

Prepare four wide, long and flat ties in advance, 2 pieces of each color.

Technique:

1. Take the cord, tie a knot at its end and thread it from bottom to top through the bottom hole on the left.
2. Insert it into the opposite hole from top to bottom, and then into the hole above it from bottom to top and insert the tip of the lace into the hole on the left side again.
3. Continue lacing in this way all the way to the edge, threading the rope through each of the holes, as if "sewing" the edges.
4. Tie a knot under the last hole.
5. Take a different color of lace and fasten it together with the knot of the previous lace on the inside near the bottom hole on the left.
6. Start braiding rows with it, threading the cord from below, then from above (baskets are weaved in a similar way), and when you reach the top edge, continue weaving down.
7. Repeat the steps until you run out of space, and then thread the cord inward and secure with a knot. As a result you will get effective pattern from checkers.

Watch a video showing how to lace up a checkerboard pattern:

Mirror reflection

Result very similar to the classic zigzag, but slightly different thanks to the symmetry and hidden knot.

1. Pass the cord through the bottom holes inward and pull both ends outward.
2. Swap them by taking the left end in right hand, and the right to the left.
3. Insert both ends inward into the holes one row up opposite each other.
4. Continue lacing all the way to the top, and tie the loose ends under the tongue.

Parallel rows

Looks simple yet amazing! Where did the inner rows of lacing go?

Technique:

1. Pass both ends of the cord through the bottom slots inward. Compare length.
2. Insert the left end of the cord into the third hole from the bottom in the left row, and then into the parallel one in the right row.
3. the same, only in mirror image, do it on the right side.
4. Weave to the very top of the sneaker, and hide the ends of the cord with a knot, tying them together when they “meet” at the leftmost hole.

As a result, you should get straight rows parallel to each other.

How to lacing "Parallel rows" is shown in the video:

Depending on the type of shoes

Of course, lacing is a rather spacious field for experimentation, but there are still certain rules that should be followed in order for the shoes to look appropriate.

For classic shoes

Classic shoes and boots - this is what should give the image of solidity and harmoniously complement business style in clothes. Besides, such models have fewer holes - a total of 6 to 8.

Zigzag

The traditional way of lacing shoes, familiar from childhood.

Appropriate for all models and is fast.

Reference! Most often, boots are sold already laced in a zigzag pattern.

Diagonal

Almost the same as the zigzag, only one end of the lace is threaded into the bottom hole from the bottom up, the other from the top down. Thanks to this small nuance, you can make the left shoe mirror the right one.

Under and over

It is called so because the laces cross first under the rows and then above them and vice versa. Thanks to this, you can get a cross right in the center of the boot, provided that there are at least 5 lacing holes on each side.

Parallel rows

This method was described above as a way to get lacing without a bow. On boots, it is performed in exactly the same way, with only one difference - the bow is still tied.

reverse diamond

This lacing is also called "military", as it is widely used in European armies. It looks like one horizontal and two vertical stripes perpendicular to each other.

In order to get such a picture, do the following:

1. Pass the cord through the bottom holes from the outside, cross under the rows and pull out through the slots above the row.
2. Pass the left end of the lace inside the hole a row higher, as well as the right one. You should get 2 lines parallel to each other.
3. Cross the cords under the rows and pull out through the outermost holes.
4. Tie a neat bow.

How to tie laces on classic shoes is described in the video:

For sports and casual shoes

On sneakers, sneakers, boots and fashionable boots, you can let your imagination run wild and embody how classic options, and newfangled.

Or maybe you can come up with something of your own?

• Zizgag-classic and timeless zigzag will be appropriate on any model. The bow can be left or hidden.
• Ladder- the most famous among non-traditional lacing methods.
• Under and over- looks great on high boots and boots. Rows of crosses are obtained.
• Parallel rows- goes well with low leather low shoes. The bow can be left or hidden.
• Diamond- it is done in the same way as the reverse rhombus, only all actions are performed exactly the opposite. As a result, you get a pattern of wide crosses. Looks great at high women's boots up to the knee.

Reference! Try lacing your shoes with Roman numerals. Attention will be provided to you!

It would seem - what could be easier than lacing up your boots? But even in this simple matter there are many nuances that need to be taken into account - from the material of the lace itself, to the lacing pattern.
