Train Track Lacing
|
Like
Army Lacing with the inside segments running straight across, the result looks like train tracks, and holds
very tight because of the doubled laces through eyelets.

Lacing Technique:
• Begin straight across on the inside (grey section) and out through the bottom eyelets.
• Both ends run straight up on the outside and in through the next higher eyelets, then continue straight
across on the inside and out through the (already occupied) eyelets on the opposite side. Repeat until lacing is
completed.
Features:
Neat look
Holds very tight
Harder to tighten
2% shorter ends (on average)
Notes:
This lacing works best with thinner or flat laces because most of the eyelets have to accommodate two passes of
shoelace.
