Double Sided Lacing
|
|
Using two flat shoelaces on top of each other, or one shoelace with different colors on the front and back, will
alternate those colors up the shoe. When using two laces, ensure that they are fairly thin because each eyelet has
to accommodate two layers of shoelace.

Lacing Technique:
1. Start with two different colored flat shoelaces, each the correct length for that shoe.
2. Hold both flat shoelaces together to end up with a double-thickness, double-sided shoelace.
3. Using that double-sided shoelace, lace the shoe normally as per
Criss Cross Lacing. At each set of eyelets, alternate the color that sits uppermost.
4. At the top of the shoe, once again hold the two ends at each side together as though they are one
double-thickness shoelace and tie a regular
Shoelace Knot.
Features:
Decorative look
Harder to tighten
Harder to tie
Variations:
1. To make tying easier, leave the ends of one color shoelace tucked into the top of the shoe and only tie with the
remaining ends of the other color.
2. The technique shown on this page is effectively a double sided variation of
Criss Cross Lacing, but the same technique can be applied to
ANY lacing method to turn it into a bi-color variation. See below for some photos of variations. |
