Lacy Tales: How To Lace Your Shoe Wide foot, narrow foot, high instep...? Here's a lacing solution for your problem
Loop-lacing lock This is a great way to create a secure, tight fit. Just put each lace end back into the same hole it just exited, leaving a small loop on the top side of the shoe; now thread each loose end through the loop on the opposite side; then pull to create a supertight closure. Loop-lacing lock For a high instep Problem: High instep. Solution: Start with normal criss-cross lacing, but over the midfoot feed the laces up each side of the shoe. Finish with the criss-cross technique at the top. Problem: Wide forefoot. Solution: Over the width of your foot just feed the laces up each side of the shoe, again using the criss-cross technique at the top. For a wide forefoot For a narrow foot Problem: Narrow foot. Solution: Using the loop-lacing lock halfway up the shoe doubles the laces over your midfoot, ensuring a tight fit. Problem: Heel slipping in your shoe. Solution: Lace the shoe using the normal criss-cross technique, then tie a loop-lacing lock on the last eyelet. To stop heel slippage
