Shoe Lacing
Some shoe problems are not due to fit but poor lacing technique. How difficult can it be to tie your shoes? After all, we learned that a long time ago as children. Well, the fact is, many people don’t lace their shoes correctly, and sometimes it can make a significant difference in how the shoe fits. In addition, many people don’t tie the laces of their casual shoes, making them too loose. This can create instability in the feet.

Sometimes lacing too tight is a sufficient enough stress to cause problems. Lacing should be snug—not too loose but not tight. There should never be discomfort associated with lacing, or any discomfort under the area of the laces. The most important aspect of lacing is that, after tying your shoes, they should be completely comfortable, and after they’ve been on for a while, they should be just as comfortable. This should be true for not only the laces but the whole shoe.
There are many different types of lacing used for many different types of shoes by different types of shoe wearers. Using comfort as your guide, you’ll always get the best fit. Here are some general tips to lace more effectively:
Always lace from the toes upward, beginning with the holes or eyelets farthest down.
Each set of eyelets you go through with the lace, pull the laces snug, but not tight, so the same amount of tension is evenly distributed through the lace.
Use a crisscross or zigzag pattern—most people and most shoes function best with this approach.
When you finish lacing, all areas of the lace should have the same tension.
Crisscross style of lacing is the most common way to tie shoes in the United States. In Europe, it’s more common to use straight lacing, where instead of all the laces going up the shoe in a diagonal pattern, some go from hole to hole straight across.
It’s been shown that both the crisscross and European pattern is equally effective. If you find either of these patterns of lacing not comfortable, most likely your shoe does not fit correctly. In addition, the crisscross pattern requires the least amount of lace, so you’ll always have sufficient lace for tying. The European style is the second most efficient approach for lace use.
If you have a very irregular foot, you may require any number of different types of lacing, one that matches your particular needs. In this case you may also be wearing special shoes and a specialist should be able to help with lacing. In any situation, don’t be afraid to experiment. But always use the comfort factor as the ultimate index.
