I've laced my shoes similar to this for years, but with no bow. This was on par up till 2:45. After that lace I stopped and bar laced the other lace over instead so both lace ends were inside the shoe. From there I would put my foot in then grab each lace and "Let it Rip!" to tighten them, then tuck the remaining lace under my heel. If I needed a tight fit, I would tie a one loop knot behind my ankle then tuck it into the back of my shoe.

Interesting! My website has this listed as "Hidden Knot Lacing": www.fieggen.com/shoelace/hiddenknotlacing.htm

I found this video to be very easy to follow. I just bought LED laces for roller skates and I'm searching for a way to use them with my standard laces, so that I don't put pressure on the LED cord. With this method, I'm hoping to cross under the standard laces and bar lace the LEDs. Thanks for sharing!

+Karen Burke Thanks for your positive feedback. You're right that this lacing will put the LEDs and wiring under less stress. Straight Bar Lacing runs through the eyelets at 90° angles whereas Criss Cross Lacing has much sharper angles of less than 90°. Good luck!

Thanks so much. Just lacing my shoes for my wedding. It’s good to know it’s the least amount of pressure on my feet in case I need to pull a runner the last second.

The straight lacing should look sharp for the ceremony, plus it's good to know that it has a dual purpose!

I love your website. You are so generous. I found your book on Amazon and ordered it. The reviews say that rhe book is out of print. You should reconsider putting it back in print. I am buying 2 more for our great nieces, I think rhey will love your book. And will enjoy showing off their sneakers with fancy lacing.Thank you. I also love your Ian Knot.

Thanks again for your kind words, Diane. It's a shame about my book, but it was the publisher's choice not to reprint, not mine. It seems to matter little that my book received such positive reviews from customers and that it completely sold out. I can only guess that that they need a book to be a runaway bestseller nowadays before they will consider reprints.
