Wide shoelaces form very solid waffle patterns.

Ends are run down the sides as “borders”, plus every odd row has an individual white elastic segment.
Tucking in the ends avoids the odd-eyelet-pair limitation.
Eight shoelaces (four per shoe) result in two unique quad-colored Dense Checkerboards.
Groovy multi-colored sneakers deserve more than one color shoelace. How about six colors!
Two colors per shoe result in bi-colored “webs”.
The lacing is nicely mirrored on the two shoes for a balanced effect.

Rick sometimes wears the boots un-tied, as Ukrainian Lacing prevents the shoelaces from dragging.
Knotting at the fifth eyelet pair allowed the top eyelets to remain loose, preventing cutting-in at the ankle.
Rick also introduced a gap into this lacing to free up the ankle area.
Rick chose this lacing to free up the ankle area for long walks on an even surface.
