Quick Tight Lacing

I have been using quick tight on my Solovair boots for a while. One suggestion I would like to add is that it's useful to mark the center of the laces with a permanent marker, as they can shift with this particular method.

quick tight worked surprisingly well for my 10 eyelet pair boots. Pulling the ends didn't tighten them completely, but it was much easier to tighten and loosen than any other straight bar lacing.

Thanks for the great site and tips therein. I visited with the intention of giving my newest boots a proper lace up and spent WAY longer combing through the site than I’d expected. I’m so happy with my choice, the quick tight, and satisfied with the ease (and fun) of executing it that I decided to contribute a photo.

Now my boots feature your Quick Tight Lacing as well. Not necessarily designed for lugs but it seems to work: what I like is the ability to tighten each section separately and in combination with the holding power of the surgeon's knot I reckon that I have a pretty good combo.

I have been using (and modifying) quick tight lacing. Thank you for this method. I use forearm crutches and wear 8" hiking boots so taking footwear on and off first means looking for somewhere stable to sit ;^}

My modification. Quick tight lacing by its nature causes major lace displacement so that every few days the boots need relacing, a granny-knot or, other that you fancy before inserting the lace through the first eyelet pair solves this nicely.

I need a simple method but also one that allows quick tightening and quick fit. I have a dodgy back and taking ten minutes to put on my boots four times a day can take it’s toll.

I am currently using Quick Tight Lacing which suits me fantastically. Thank you!
