Shoe Shop Lacing (lug version)

A lug version of either Shoe Shop Lacing or Lightning Lacing. While this does look interesting, it shifts the sides of the shoe out of alignment, though this may be useful to correct an otherwise ill-fitting shoe.

Lacing Technique
• Begin straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs.
• Run the left (blue) end diagonally all the way to the top of the shoe and up through the top right lug.
• The right (yellow) end runs diagonally up and left, feeding up through the next higher lug on the left side.
• The same (yellow) end runs diagonally down and right, feeding up through the adjacent lug on the right side.
• Continue running across and back, feeding up through each lug, until lacing is completed.
