Twistie Lacing
|
|
Like a combination of Loop Back and Knotted Lacing,
the laces are twisted together with a vertical overhand knot at each crossover before continuing to the other side.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are twisted together with one complete twist in the middle of the shoe.
3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of
eyelets up the shoe.
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) until both ends reach the top eyelets.

Using This Lacing:
Twistie lacing looks best on shoes with thick, round laces, especially light coloured laces on dark coloured shoes.
These accentuate the fact that the laces are twisted together before crossing over each other. |
