U-Lace Methods

U-Lace are short, individual elasticized segments for simple, modular lacing – even in multiple colors. This section presents a number of variations of regular Lacing Methods adapted for use with U-Lace.
19 Different Ways To U-Lace Shoes


A version of Straight Bar Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms neat, straight “bars”.


A version of Lightning Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Looks a bit like a lightning bolt.


A version of Bow Tie Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms separate visible “X” symbols.


A version of Hash Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a diagonal series of hash “#” symbols.


A version of Lattice Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a decorative woven lattice in the middle of the lacing.


A version of Loop Back Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a series of loop-backs down the middle of the shoe.


A version of Hill Valley Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Pairs of rows are looped around each other, the peaked rows forming “hills” and the dipped rows forming “valleys”.


A version of Knotted Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms “X” symbols knotted in the middle of the shoe.


A version of Twistie Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms “X” symbols twisted into vertical knots in the middle of the shoe.


A version of Roman Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Alternating “X-I-X-I” on top of the shoe looks a little like Roman numerals.


A version of C.I.A. Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Uses one or more visible crossovers at different positions for covert signalling.


A version of Hexagram Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a hexagram, or six pointed star.


A version of Asterisk Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a series of asterisk [*] symbols.


A version of Starburst Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a large, centered “starburst” of overlapping crosses.


A version of Progressive Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Crossovers run progressively steeper – and hence feel tighter – towards the toes.


A version of Perspective Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Forms a sideways perspective grid.


A version of Escher Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Resembles fish swimming alternately left and right like those from Dutch artist M.C. Escher.


A version of Cascade Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Each row loops under the previous row, forming a “cascade” down the shoe.


A version of Cyclone Fence Lacing using U-Lace no-tie laces instead of regular shoelaces. Resembles a section of the diamond pattern of cyclone fencing (or “chain-link” fencing).
