How to lace an Oxford shoe - step-by-step video guide
Face the toe of your shoe away from your body.
Thread the lace through the lowest set of eyelets.
This forms the first ‘rung’ on the outside of the shoe.
Adjust the length of the laces.
The lace on the instep side should be about 2.5 inches longer (about the length of your thumb).
Start with the longer lace.
Bring it up on the inside of the shoe to the next set of eyelets.
Keeping it on the same side, feed it through the hole to the outside.
Thread it horizontally across the outside to form the 2nd ‘rung’ of the ladder.
Keeping it on the same side, bring it up the inside the shoe, but this time, miss a hole.
Feed it through the hole to the outside.
Thread it horizontally across the outside in the 4th ‘rung’ position.
Finally, feed the lace diagonally across the inside of the shoe, bringing it out on the top eyelet.
Now - the other lace.
Staying on the same side, bring the lace up the inside of the shoe to the third set of eyelets.
Feed it through the hole to the outside.
Thread it across the outside to form the 3rd ‘rung’.
Lastly, bring it up the inside to the final eyelet at the top.
The laces should form a neat, parallel, ladder pattern.
The laces should end up the same length.
