N ways to tie your shoelaces

Dress up your ankle-24 ways to tie your shoelaces 1 cross method: 1 Put the toe cap straight through the bottom (gray part) and out of the bottom of each shoe hole. 2 through the toe. Then, repeat this process through the other two holes until the shoelace passes through the upper two holes. Evaluation: Whether the traditional simple comfort is wrinkled or not is a popular comfort tying method, mainly because the crossing part of shoelaces is just in the groove between the upper on both sides, so it will not squeeze into the foot surface. Upper and lower tying method 1 Insert shoelaces from the bottom (gray part) and downward from the top of each hole. The toe cap passes through the bottom, passes through the second pair of shoe holes from bottom to top, and then passes through the top and is inserted into the third pair of shoe holes. Repeat this process until the shoelace passes through the two holes above. Pay less attention to the evaluation of the convenience of decoration and wear: if the shoe holes are odd pairs (such as the pair in Figure 7 on the left = 14 holes), the shoelaces should be worn from the bottom (gray part) to ensure that the shoelaces cross under the top pair of shoe holes. 3 Straight line method (European style): 1, the toe cap goes straight through the bottom two holes 2, one end of the shoelace (yellow end) goes out obliquely from bottom to top and goes straight into another hole 3 in the second horizontal row, and the other end of the shoelace goes out obliquely from bottom to top and goes straight into another hole 4 to repeat the operation. Two shoelaces are evaluated alternately. Shoelace surface smoothness is short. The bottom is a mess. Note: When the gap between the two sides of the upper that needs to be tied together is too large, the mess at the bottom of the shoelace is obvious (as shown in the left picture). Although it looks messy, this kind of crossing can make the shoelaces tight and reassuring. 4. Direct method (popular) 1. Thread the toe cap from the bottom (gray part) into the two holes at the bottom. 2. One end (yellow end) of the shoelace goes out along the right side from bottom to top and goes straight into another hole in the second horizontal row. Then, the two ends of the shoelace are outward along the left side and continue to cross the two ends of the shoelace. 5 The other end of the shoelace penetrates horizontally into the penultimate row of shoe holes, and then goes straight out from the uppermost shoe hole. The most beautiful evaluation is only applicable to even pairs of shoe holes (such as 6 pairs and 8 pairs). Note: this method is not only suitable for shoes with even number of double holes, but also has a way to break through this limitation, as shown in the left picture (the top row of holes is blank). Here are several other solutions. Alternative method of odd holes: Although the direct method (popular) is only applicable to shoes with even holes (for example, 6 pairs = 12 holes), it is still widely used. It is said that this method is required for shoes and low-top boots (except combat boots) of the Canadian Air Force. No wonder many people try their best to tie odd-numbered shoes with two holes (for example, 7 pairs = 14 holes) in this way. Here are some examples: Alternative method of odd holes-1- Skip a row of holes: The easiest way is not to wear the top row or the bottom row of holes. Break through the restriction of odd pairs with even pairs of shoe holes. Of course, you can also skip the middle row of shoe holes and let the tied shoelaces be divided into two parts. Alternative method of odd-numbered pairs of shoe holes -2- oblique penetration: use oblique penetration once at the bottom or top. Of course, if it is at the top, it will be hidden because of the radian and toe. When worn obliquely at the bottom, it can be wrapped around the inside of the tongue, which looks beautiful, but the foot surface will feel slightly uncomfortable. Alternative method of odd holes-3 shoelaces cutting: You can cut shoelaces in the middle of the oblique part, and the cut shoelaces can be knotted or buckled, and then stuffed in the vamp. However, the obvious consequence of doing so is that the feet are slightly uncomfortable. Odd alternating method of shoe holes-4 pairs: This unconventional method is to cross shoelaces twice in the penultimate row of shoe holes at the bottom. Because it is close to the sole, and the shoes generally don't open to this position, the problem that the shoes are too tight is not obvious. 5. Direct binding method (lazy binding method): 1. Thread the toe cap from the bottom (gray part) directly into the two shoe holes at the bottom. 2. One end (blue end) of the shoelace head extends upward from the top shoelace hole along the left side. 3. The other end of the shoelace (yellow end) directly passes through the hole on the right side of the second row. 4. The same end (yellow end) goes up and back through the remaining shoe hole. Evaluation: The most beautiful shoes are only suitable for even-numbered shoes with two holes (such as 6 pairs = 12 holes). Note: This method is limited to shoes with even number of holes (such as 6 pairs = 12 holes). The example on the left is the breakthrough and flexibility of shoes with odd pairs of holes (for example, 7 pairs = 14 holes). 6. Sawtooth fastening mode: 1. Thread the toe strap from the bottom (gray part) directly into the two shoe holes at the bottom. 2. One end of the shoelace (yellow end) goes straight out along the right side and horizontally passes through the second row of shoe holes. 3. The other end of the shoelace (blue end) jumps over the second row of shoe holes, obliquely penetrates from below, and passes through the third row of shoe holes on the right. 4. Continue to push the two tool holder heads upward in pairs through the tool holder holes until one end (yellow head in the figure) passes through the top tool holder hole on the right. 5. The other end of the shoelace (the blue end in the legend) goes straight up along the left side and goes out from the top hole on the left side. Evaluation: The two sides are easy to bind and deviate, which is suitable for the application of the improved sawtooth system: this system may be easier to bind than other linear systems because the straight part of the surface is pulled in the same direction. However, because the downward inclined part is also pulled in the same direction, the two sides of the shoe are directly pulled inward at an angle. The result of this "deformation" may be used to correct shoes that don't fit. The method is to tie the shoelaces with the oblique part facing the loose part of the shoes. For example, the left front (little toe) of the left shoe feels a little loose. When tying the shoelaces, point the oblique part in that direction. After fastening, the left side of the shoe will shrink backward and inward, thus effectively "deforming" the shoe to the right. Of course, the shoes on the left and right feet should be reversed (mirror image operation) to make the appearance and efficacy of the two shoes consistent. 7. Shoe store tying method: 1. Thread the toe cap from the bottom (gray part) directly into the two shoe holes at the bottom. 2. The left end (blue end) of the shoelace is pulled obliquely to the right top hole. 3. The right end (yellow end) of the shoelace passes through the remaining shoe hole in zigzag. Evaluation: Lazy tie method can reduce the remaining length of toe cap. Note: the left and right shoes can be in the opposite direction (mirror image operation), so that they look symmetrical at last. It is said that the shoe store tying method was recommended by the British army. "It is easy to knot and knot when it is cold and needs to be started quickly!" Like other direct methods, when the foot is injured, you can quickly cut the shoelaces with a knife or scissors and take off your boots. 8. Show shoes system method, also known as "triathlon T 1 system method": 1. Thread the toe cap directly into (rather than out of) the two shoe holes at the bottom from top to bottom. 2. Pass through the toe cap, and then pass through the second row of shoe holes again. 3. Repeat this process until the shoelace passes through the upper two holes (from the inside of the shoe). Evaluation: the appearance is neat, easy to untie and not easy to tie. Note: this fastening method is easier to untie and fasten the cross, because fingers can easily reach under the shoelaces on the top of shoes and pull down. Triathlon athletes save more time when they need to take off their shoes in the competition. 9. Rope ladder method: 1. Pass the toe cap from the bottom (gray part) through the two holes in the bottom. 2. Both ends of shoelaces are aligned upwards and pass through the second row of shoe holes. 3. Before threading the shoelaces upward into the next row of holes, cross the shoelaces and vertically thread them from the bottom of the shoelaces on the other side. 4. In the top hole, the two shoelaces cross again, pass under the vertical part, and then fasten. Evaluation: Short neatness and decorative shoelaces are difficult to fasten. Note: This fastening method is very interesting in ordinary shoes and sports shoes, but it is more effective in high-waisted boots with many holes (especially when using contrasting shoelaces). 10. Double back binding method: 1. Thread the shoelaces directly through the holes in the second row above (gray part). 2. Cross the ends of shoelaces, skip the third row of shoe holes and enter the fourth row of shoe holes. 3. Continue downward and pass through two rows of shoe holes at the same time. 4. After passing through the bottom two shoe holes, pass through the spare shoe holes in pairs. Evaluation: It is difficult to tie the remaining shoelaces with a short length. 1 1. Bow tie method: 1. Thread the toe cap directly into the two holes at the bottom from top to bottom. 2. Thread the shoelaces from the inside up (dotted line) to the next row of shoe holes, leaving a "gap". 3. After the toe cap passes through the top, it enters the next row of shoe holes. 4. Continue to wear up, straight through the inside and cross on it. Evaluation: The remaining shoelaces are longer and more comfortable "upper area". Remarks: In addition to leaving a gap in every even row, you can also choose the position of shoelaces according to the parts to be fastened (as shown in the figure), which can give your feet more "breathing space". Double helix method: 1. Starting from the bottom, the left (blue) end of the shoelace starts from the left. 2. The left (blue) end passes through the second row of shoe holes on the right, and the right (yellow) end passes through the second row of shoe holes on the left from bottom to top. 3. Repeat this process in a double helix until both ends of the shoelace pass through the top hole. Evaluation: asymmetric decoration convenience. Note: the left and right shoes can be in the opposite direction (mirror image operation), so that they look symmetrical at last. Application of double helix method: the idea of this method is to reduce the friction between shoelaces and the edge of uppers. In addition, the friction of the overlapping parts of shoelaces can be ignored, and the friction is reduced even more. Two adjacent groups of shoelaces can be pulled at the same time, which makes it more convenient and quick to tie shoelaces and relax.
