How to tie a shoe?
Lace Your Shoes for Walking Comfort
.
.
"Now, most of us thought we had this mastered by first or second grade, but it's time to rethink it!
.
Just having a comfy pair of shoes doesn't ensure foot comfort for walking.
The way you lace your shoe can increase your foot comfort or relieve foot pain while walking. Proper lacing can also increast the lifespan of your shoes.
.
Tips for lacing:
.
* Loosen laces as you slip shoes on to reduce stress on eyelets and backs of shoes.
* Beginning at the toe end, tighten laces one pair of eyelets at a time to reduce eyelet stress and ensure uniform pressure.
* When buying new shoes, keep in mind that shoes with more eyelets make for easier adjustment (many better athletic shoes have two sets).
* Conventional crisscross lacing works best for most people. Alternative lacing patterns may be appropriate for specific types of feet or to ease some foot problems.

Lace Your Shoes - Suggestions :
* Narrow feet: Consider using wide-set eyelets that bring the sides of the shoe more snugly across the top of the foot (a).
* Wide feet: Eyelets set closer to the tongue and set closer together add width to the lacing area (b).
* Narrow heel, wide forefoot: Consider using two laces for a custom fit (c). The wide-set eyelets help snug up the heel, and the closer-set eyelets help adjust shoe width to the forefoot.
* Feet pain: For pain in specific areas of the foot, try skipping eyelets in the vicinity of the pain and tightening laces above and below the skipped eyelets (d).
* High arches: Lacing straight across between eyelets (instead of crisscrossing) can reduce or eliminate pressure points (e).
* Toe problems: For toe problems, including hammertoes, corns and painful toenails, insert laces so that one lace traverses diagonally across the length of the tongue, from toe to top (f). Pulling on the lace will raise the toe box to reduce pressure.
* Heel fit: The lacing pattern shown in illustration (g) can help prevent your heel from moving in the shoe and rubbing blisters. Laces are looped through each other before being tied.

Thank You drac. I will try to learn this. I seldom undo my shoe laces. I use a shoe-horn instead, since I generally wear soft shoes. But it looks more like womens dress back lace. In that case the question is how to undo them?
read this post again....its about shoes!!!
love my aglets!!!
Only a Draconist will ever think about lacing his or her shoe laces properly.
Maybe it is, because they have toe nails like claws and feeling guilty, unfortunately the pedicure specialist has to be a descendant of Frankenstein to deal with such matters.
Obviously, I live in a country that sandals, slippers and shower shoes are the fashion of the day. Every two weeks my toe nails will visit the pedicure specialist.
For the record a do wear cowboy boots, easy to fit and NO LACES to worry about.
Matter fact, How do you lace a Dracula?
