Lacing Technique

• Use two U-Lace segments to lace two rows of eyelets with an “X”, one segment running up and left, the other running up and right.

• Continue up the shoe, filling every two rows of eyelets with “X”s.

• On shoes with an odd number of rows, lace straight across either the bottom row or the top row with a single U-Lace segment.

Notes

• Use the same U-Lace color throughout to replicate the look of a regular, single shoelace.

• Alternate two different U-Lace colors for a bi-color look.

• Use several different U-Lace colors for a rainbow or multi-colored look.
