Shoe Shop Lacing (Lug version)
A lug version of Shoe Shop Lacing. Whilst this does look interesting, it shifts the sides of the shoe out of alignment, though this may be useful to correct an otherwise ill-fitting shoe.
Alpina boots with Lug Shoe Shop Lacing. Picture sent in by Trim K.	Lacing Technique: 1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs. 2. The left (blue) end of the lace is fed diagonally all the way to the top of the shoe and passes up through the top right lug. 3. The right (yellow) lace end runs diagonally across and up the shoe to the next higher lug on the left side, passing up through that lug. 4. The same (yellow) end runs across to the adjacent lug on the right side, passing up through that lug. 5. Repeat steps (3) and (4) until the end reaches the top of the shoe. Features: Unusual look Mis-aligns sides Modifies fit Comparative Length = 109% Laced area uses more (about +9%) Longer laces needed (about +4%) Shortens lace ends (about −7%) More details
NOTE: The left and right shoes can be laced in reverse (mirror image) so as to end up with a symmetrical look.
