Loop Back Lacing
(Lug version)
|
|
A lug version of
Loop Back Lacing. Each side loops back on itself down the middle, rather like when two springs become
intertwined. However, those loop-backs tend to shift off-centre.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs.
2. The left (blue) end is fed all the way straight up through each lug on the left side of the shoe, with a little
slack left in between each lug and the next highest lug.
3. The right (yellow) lace runs up the right side of the shoe, at each lug looping through the left (blue) lace in
the middle of the shoe before feeding into the next higher lug.

Using This Lacing:
Loop Back lacing looks best on shoes with thick, round laces, especially light coloured laces on dark coloured
shoes. These accentuate the fact that the laces loop back on themselves rather than crossing over each other.
