Ladder Lacing
(Lug version)
|
|
A lug version of
Ladder Lacing. It also looks very similar to
Lug Infinity ∞ Lacing, and is useful when the lugs are too narrow to fit two passes of shoelace.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs.
2. The ends continue straight up through the next higher set of lugs up the shoe.
3. The ends are crossed over each other, running diagonally across and down the shoe, and are fed under the
vertical lace sections on the opposite sides of the shoe before running straight up over the top of the lugs.
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until both ends reach the top lugs.

More details
NOTE:
This lacing can be made to look even more similar to
Lug Infinity ∞ Lacing as follows. At Step 3, the ends are fed
over the vertical lace sections on the opposite sides of the shoe before running straight up
behind the lugs, thus hiding those sections of lace that would otherwise run over the top of the lugs. |

Ladder Lacing.
