Over Under Lacing
A variation of Criss Cross Lacing that alternates between running over and then under. It's my own preferred method for most of my shoes & sneakers.
This picture of Converse All Stars with Over Under Lacing was sent to me by Bandit1980. More Lacing Photos	Lacing Technique: 1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into both bottom eyelets. 2. The ends are crossed over underneath and emerge from the next set of eyelets up the shoe, then crossed over on top and fed into the next set of eyelets. 3. Repeat step (2) until both ends reach the top eyelets. FEATURES: Ian's favourite! Decorative Faster & easier Less wear & tear NOTE: If the shoe has an ODD number of eyelet pairs (eg. 7 pairs = 14 eyelets, like my shoe at left), start with the bottom (grey section) underneath in order for the last crossover to also be underneath when you reach the top eyelets.
