Knotted Lacing
|
|
Adding an overhand knot at each crossover increases friction and keeps the lacing much firmer. Ideal for tightening
ice skates, rollerblades, etc.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are crossed over each other and are then knotted with a single overhand knot, which is identical
to the Starting Knot.
3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of
eyelets up the shoe.
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until both ends reach the top eyelets.
FEATURES:
 Keeps lacing tight
Assists tightening
 Harder to loosen
Knotted Lacing Theory:
With each stage of this lacing given a single overhand knot, the result is a very firm lacing. This is of
most benefit whilst tightening, as the lower sections are less inclined to loosen in the process, making it
ideal for tightening ice skates, rollerblades, etc. |
