Does anyone know how to lace your shoes so they look like a checkerboard?

Question

I know that you need two shoelaces to do it but that is about it.

Answer 1

Lacing Technique:
1. Start with two pairs of different colour laces, preferably the wide, flat variety. (I was lucky to receive two such pairs with my last runners!)

2. With one colour (yellow in my example), lace the shoe using either Straight (Fashion) or Straight (Lazy) Lacing.

3. With the other colour (blue in my example), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top.

4. Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom.

5. Continue across the shoe until you're out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first.

6. Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.

FEATURES:
Very decorative
Slip-on or off (no knot required)
Loose fit


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE:
When completed, this lacing forms a sort of loose, springy weave that does not bind strongly. It's designed for the latest fashion of wide-fronted runners that people usually wear loose with the laces dragging. Sort of like a trendy slip-on.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Variations:
1. For a slightly tighter fit, use wider or rougher laces to increase friction and thus support more tension.

2. For even more security, do the initial Straight Lacing in reverse so that the loose ends are at the bottom of the shoe. With most of the tension occurring at the top of the shoe, the extra security is provided by the friction of all the eyelets below.

3. For the greatest security, do the checkerboard lacing only up to the second eyelet from the top, then tie your shoelaces normally across the top two eyelets.

4. Instead of using two different coloured laces, you can use a single long shoelace. Tuck in or tie off one end at the bottom of the shoe, then lace up the shoe running across and back like Straight (Lazy) Lacing. At the top, weave that same end up and down through the lacing, then once again tuck in or tie off the end.

Answer 2

trucks began the fad. Airwalk sorta copied it. placed on the shoes with ankle socks. An outfit that would desire to bypass with it incredibly is in all possibility a pair of light washed, destroyed denims, a crimson tank, and a black shirt over it. Your shoes are slip-ons, and that they bypass with something casual.
