Double Lacing (lug version)

Lacing Technique

• Start with two different colored shoelaces, each shorter than the original laces from that shoe.

• Feed one shoelace (purple in my example) straight across the bottom and up through both bottom lugs.

• Cross the ends and feed up through the third set of lugs (skip past one set of lugs).

• Continue crossing over and going up two sets of lugs at a time until you reach either the top or second from top set of lugs.

• Take the other shoelace (orange in my example) and, starting from the second set of lugs from the bottom, work upwards through the remaining lugs until lacing is completed.

Notes

If your shoes have an odd number of pairs of lugs (eg. 5 pairs = 10 lugs), one shoelace will pass through more lugs than the other. The two shoelaces will therefore need to be different lengths. To determine the exact lengths needed, use my Shoelace Length Calculator.

Double Lacing

Same lacing method for shoes with eyelets instead of lugs.

Lug Double Back Lacing

Similar looking method laced with a single shoelace (hence one color).
