Ian's Shoelace Site - Ian's Book "Laces"

"Laces", the book based on this web site, is available world-wide. Like the web site, this book is the world's most comprehensive reference about shoelaces. It even comes with shoelaces! The pages are filled with trendy looking shoes laced in amazing patterns.

The book also contains lots of new material that isn't yet on the site (about ten additional lacing methods!)

It's perfect for sneaker enthusiasts, knot enthusiasts, parents, teachers (especially pre-school), kids, teenagers, adults, in fact, anyone who uses shoelaces!

At an amazingly low RRP of just $14.95 (USD), it also makes an affordable, novel gift. And don't let the modest price fool you; this is still a big, sturdy, high quality book!

Book Preview

Here's a view of the book's triple-fold cover opened out completely. This design allows the front cover, which comes complete with eyelets, flaps and color-coded laces, to be folded out alongside the lacing diagrams so that you can try out the lacing methods!

Here's a sample spread of one of the lacing methods, "Army Lacing", as it appeared in an early proof print. You can even see one of my corrections at the top of the right page.

Another sample spread, this time of "Train Track Lacing", which makes its debut in the finished book. Note how the color schemes complement the featured sneakers.

When you find a lacing method you'd like to try, the book's cover can be folded over the left page so that you can use the color-coded laces to follow the diagram and instructions on the right page. No more awkward bending down and fiddling with your shoes!

Ian Fieggen at the Australian launch of his book, Laces

Here's me proudly holding one of the first copies of "Laces" at the Australian launch in October 2007.

It's a pity that this photo doesn't extend low enough to show my feet - I livened up this tuxedo by sporting a pair of Converse double upper sneakers, laced with Aussie green and gold shoelaces, with each foot sporting a different (and as yet unpublished) lacing pattern!
