Hash Lacing
Sometimes referred to as "Trellis", "Noughts & Crosses" or "Tic Tac Toe Lacing"
|
|
When used on modern boots and sneakers with a wide gap and many eyelets, the result resembles a diagonal series of
hash "#" symbols. The laces run three steps forwards, one step backwards.

Hash Lacing on these Nike XIIs (AirAzn88's) ensures that the "T W O 3" writing is visible.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets.
3. Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets.
4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge
from the next set of eyelets below.
FEATURES:
 Decorative
Shortens ends
 Harder to tighten
NOTE:
This method looks best on shoes with even numbered pairs of eyelets (eg. 8 pairs = 16 eyelets). If you use
this method on a shoe with, for example, 7 pairs (14 eyelets), you'll reach the top of the shoe without
skipping the second-last eyelets. This results in the last sections of lace running at a slightly different angle.
You can choose to do this at the top of the lacing or at the bottom of the lacing (as shown in the picture at
left).
If your shoes do have even numbered pairs of eyelets, you may also prefer to do this at both ends in order
to avoid having empty eyelets. This also uses up slightly more shoelace, which helps when you have laces that are
too long. |
