(Lug version)
A lug version of Spider Web Lacing. Another decorative lacing method used on military boots, which is like Lug Ladder Lacing running at an angle, creating a woven web of shoelace.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across (grey section) and down through the second set of lugs from the bottom.

2. The ends continue straight down through the bottom set of lugs.

3. The ends are crossed over each other, running diagonally across and up the shoe, skipping one set of lugs before feeding into the top of the next vacant set of lugs.

4. The ends run down through the lugs, then continue down and across the front of the next lower set of lugs.

5. The ends are looped under the vertical sections of lace where they emerges at the bottom of those lugs.

6. Repeat steps (3) to (5) until both ends reach the top lugs.
