as someone who has always found lacing shoes confusing, this was incredibly helpful

[@nice6295]

This is best lacing tutorial on YT. I'm usually mentally challenged when it comes to lacing shoes but I got this immediately with great results. Thank you!

[@SurferKroky]

Lol I'm the same , it's like a Chinese puzzle to my puny mind 😂

[@nojo19363]

Thank you so much for putting up the tutorial did mine this morning on all of my docs and it worked flawlessly I was using a different method and it was kind of confusing sometime I had to keep watching a video the one chose is super easy and I like that one laces longer so I could tie it around my doc love the look

[@maddshk]

looks great with the yellow laces, a little messy but love it :)

Bro, thanks so much! I had to get some generic replacement laces for my Docs recently which had far too much excess lacing. Your method ended up saving me from walking around with clown shoe laces!😅

[@simondanielssonmusic]

Just tried this on my Solovairs. It feels so much secure and tight than the standard lacing. Awesome, thank you!

[@NicoMojica]

Glad it helped!

[@shrk.t00th]

thank you :D i’ve been wanting to put beads on my laces and this is the only way i’ve found i can actually do it

[@danzsyy]

Sameeeee I’m doing it rn

[@TheRedCyndaquil]

Still helping 3 years on! My laces have always been hidden under my denim overalls but now at least i know they look good underneath!

[@konokukistune]

i watched a ton of videos before finding this one, easily the most well done and helpful!

[@Ratinaskillet]

I plan on getting docs and I've always loved how ladder lacing looked so I practiced on my converse 😂 really helpful walk through btw thank you sm

[@Alice45894]

I'm doing this because my docs are jacked up and the tongue refuses to stay in the middle on the left shoe and it drives me INSANE

[@rustyshackleford5633]

my docs do the same thing! hopefully this fixs it, it seems to be a common issue with the boot

[@fangsandfolklore8795]

I think it looks good, but I don't like the top wraparound lace. Just my preference. Thanks for the video.

[@xwolfy666]

This was super helpful! Just did mine up with ribbons, and they look perfect.

[@antipatsy]

I remember, some 30+ years ago, sitting outside a club in South Florida showing a bunch of kids how to speed-lace. Good times.

[@steveothebassist]

I hope this isnt an insanely stupid question, but I cant seem to loosen the boot enough to slip my foot in with it laced like this. Is there some sort of trick I'm missing?

[@steveothebassist]

@@NicoMojica You might as well just take the extra couple minutes to lace it with the proper technique instead of having to unlace it everytime you put on the shoe with this easier technique

[@steveothebassist]

@@NicoMojica Just to clarify, i was viewing this (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnXOdKJ9a9NrrM0) as the original or proper way to straight lace and this as a quicker/easier version, though I don't even know if that's the correct way of describing each. While the one from the KZbin video linked is definitely not as easy to loosen as cross lace, i feel like it's easier to loosen than to have to re-lace the top few every time you put on your shoes, though that might be subjective and change after practice

[@whdl_0411]

Just bought a 1490 that has 10 eyelets which is a pain to wear and take off. Glad I came upon this video, unlacing the boots is so much easier.

[@ravicava1778]

Bro! Do have a question? Which do you prefer! Criss cross laced or the bar lace?

[@Vixxxen666.]

I love this method instead looks dope and feels great to walk in.

[@nevertheless_insomniac3935]

I’m little confused with the top laces what do I do with that one

[@mercedeslaberge3016]

This was exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!!

[@Rick-wn5oh]

Will it work with seven pairs of eyelets?

[@DeuceDevious]

i prefer your method to a few of the others. I plan to relace my TAFT collection just like this. thanks alot.

[@thamansalami6625]

Is the sizing same to regular 1460

[@sylnz97]

I'm new to this stuff, is there an advantage to lace them like this or is it just for aesthetics?

[@NicoMojica]

From my experience, it’s easier to have this for higher boots because of how hard it is to get your foot in the boot if you don’t unlace them. I can fully unlace and re-lace the boots much quicker if I have to. I feel like I can also get them a little tighter lacing them like this.

[@sylnz97]

@@NicoMojica interesting, thx for replying :)

[@myangelannie]

Thank you! Couldn't figure it out for love or money and this was super simple!! Incredibly grateful (and my first review so you know how happy I am!!!) 🎉😊

[@lunag3092]

Tips to stretch the leather?

[@Saundo_225]

Leather wont really "stretch". If you want to soften the leather, a few coats of boot polish a couple times a week for about a month should get them comfortable.

[@danieljhalab6775]

Wear them that's about all

[@microwavedmetal]

Ok great but no how do you tighten them

[@Linknganon72]

[@neuberry]

I agree that this is the true "paratrooper" or "ladder" style of lacing, but I'm not a fan of the excess lace wraparound at the top.

[@Citykid1982]

The tongue on my boots slips on the side it's so frustrating, I think I did this way too soon hopefully there's a way to fix it

[@Citykid1982]

Correction I did the alternative straight bar which made the tongue slip on the side hopefully this will straighten it

[@theslimemolds5099]

Really great and quick. Thanks

[@requiem7204]

Just got my platform boots today, going to try this. Thank you!

[@tsfcancerman]

should not have a lace crossing in background, on inside of shoe, go in on bottom hole then out on top hole on same side meaning towards croatch, then use the other going over to other side and in then up and out then over then in then up and out

[@NicoMojica]

Just made a video on the method you pointed out! Thanks for the feedback 🙏

[@buttershy_]

everyone assumed this guy was a naz because of fake rules made up by american tiktok trolls. lovely

[@ve5psl]

Wrong. This is the lazy way of doing it. The proper way is, put the lace in the bottom 2 eyelets. Then on one side, bring the lace through the eyelet directly above where it is coming through. On the other side, skip 1 eyelet and bring the lace out of the second eyelet. Take lace #1 and bring it straight across to the eyelet you skipped with lace #2. Take lace #2 and bring it straight across and continue up the boot in a skip one, straight across, pattern.

I had cadets lace their parade boots like this. We had to show them how to lace them properly to pass inspection. You should not see a diagonal lace.
