Amazing Way To Tie Your Sneakers
By Dunn •
October 31, 2008
I found interesting tips on how you can tie your sneakers with style. There are 15 ways, so you can change the way you tie your sneakers every day or every week. Try to play around with the color. I believe you will look amazing and people will ask you to teach them how.
- The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
- The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
- The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
- At the top set of eyelets, the laces can once again cross over and pass under the straight section as shown. This not only looks consistent with the rest of the lacing but also forms a High Lace Lock, which tightens the lacing even more firmly.
- The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
- The ends are looped back under the lace where it feeds under the side of the shoe.
- The ends are then crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
- Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.
- The lace runs straight across the second set of eyelets from the top of the shoe.
- Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets, skipping the third set.
- Continue down the shoe, two sets of eyelets at a time.
- At the bottom, run the laces vertically between the bottom and second from bottom eyelets.
- Double back and work your way back up the shoe through the vacant sets of eyelets.
- The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
- The left (red) end is spiralled up the left side of the shoe, with the end fed under and emerging from each eyelet.
- The right (orange) lace is spiralled up the right side of the shoe, at each eyelet looping through the left (blue) lace in the middle of the shoe before feeding under and emerging from the next eyelet.
- The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
- One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, is fed into and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.
- Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before feeding in two eyelets higher up.
- Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time.
- At the top of the shoe, the laces end up on the same side and the shoelace knot is tied at that point.
- The lace runs straight across the bottom and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.
- One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, emerges from and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.
- The other end (red end) runs diagonally underneath and skipping the second set of eyelets, emerges from and runs straight across the third set of eyelets.
- Continue running each lace diagonally across and up two sets of eyelets until one end (orange as in the example) reaches the top right eyelet.
- The other end (red in the example) runs straight up the left side to emerge from the top left eyelet.
- The lace runs straight across and emerges from the third set of eyelets from the bottom.
- Both ends run straight down and are fed into the second set of eyelets from the bottom.
- Both ends again run straight down and emerge from the bottom set of eyelets.
- Both ends now run straight up along the outside and are fed into the fourth set of eyelets (the first vacant pair).
- The ends are crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
- Repeat step 5 until both ends reach the top.
- The lace is run straight across the bottom and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets.
- The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
- This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.
- The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
- Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets.
- Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets.
- Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.
- The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
- The ends are twisted together with one complete twist in the middle of the shoe.
- The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
- This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.
- The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets.
- Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
- Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the fifth set of eyelets.
- Cross the ends over and feed into the second set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
- Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the third set of eyelets.
- Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
- The lace is run diagonally and emerges from the bottom left and the top right eyelets.
- The top (red) end of the lace is zig-zagged from the top set of eyelets down to the middle eyelets in a similar manner to the shoe shop lacing.
- The bottom (orange) end of the lace is similarly zig-zagged from the bottom set of eyelets up to the middle eyelets.
- Start with two pairs of different color laces, preferably the wide, flat variety.
- With one color (orange in the example), lace the shoe using either Straight (Fashion) or Straight (Lazy) lacing.
- With the other color (red in the example), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top.
- Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom.
- Continue across the shoe until you’re out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first.
- Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.
- The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets.
- Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
- Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the fifth set of eyelets.
- Cross the ends over and feed into the second set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
- Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the third set of eyelets.
- Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
- Take two different color laces, each a tiny bit longer than the correct length for the shoes.
- Cut them not quite in half, but offset by two or three centimetres.
- Tie one shorter piece of one color (orange in the example) and one longer piece of the other color (red in the example) firmly together and trim off the excess. For extra security, add a dab of glue. Use the remaining pieces to make the bi-color lace for the other shoe.
- Pull the longer (red) end out through the bottom right eyelet, feeding from inside the shoe, until you reach the joining knot.
- Now lace the rest of the shoe as per Straight (Fashion) lacing.

That’s great
I had never given any thought to shoelaces in my life before reading this post.
What a fantastic way to describe something I would never have thought interesting or useful.

This seems really new. I feel like a new born child. I’ve known just one way to tie a shoe lace.Pure ingenuity. I’ll definitely look different the next time my friends sees me..hurray.
Thank you, I really need to know this before buying it.
I still tie my sneakers like a 5 year old. I think it is time that I learn new techniques.

great way tie sneakers
Some of those would make a very creative reason for being late for school in the mornings.
This is SO COOL. I’m totally going to try the checkerboard style. What an awesome and inventive way to take something so boring and mundane and make it interesting and fun!
Someone has a lot of time on their hands…err feet!
This is some really cool information. I have a brother and sister that are both in high school, so I will definitely be showing this post to both of them. I know that my sister is always looking for different ways to tie her shoes, and I have a feeling that my brother would appreciate this as well.
Thanks,
Chris
This was a great post. My teenage daughter is always looking for a way to change up her look. She showed her friends and now they are all trying to come up with other ideas to see who’s is the best.
bizzare lol, some of those must make up about 90% of the time it would take you to get dressed.
This actually reminds me of middle school when I would play around with my shoe laces. I’m a big fan of the checkerboard.
this was a cool post. my school mate would like it.
thank you
Wow, those are some of coolest ways to tie your shoes I’ve ever seen! I bought a pair or two with weird lacings, but these are really cool alternatives! I’m trying one today for sure!
Excellent post. I wonder though who would spend that much time on the aesthetics of their shoes. Afterall, it is not as if people look at shoes rather than faces!
Now THAT is interesting! I am going to try one of the ones where it’s already knotted as I am one of these people who hates to untie my sneakers before putting them on. I just want to slip them on and GO! Cool post, going to forward to my sneaker-loving nephews.
Now that’s what you call art on a different canvass, to me the checkboard design is the most appealing.
Oh yes, It’s very amazing, you have had to boring a lot to discover many forms to tie sneakers, but it’s very good thanks for the ideas.
Well who would of thunk it!
I am loving the second one down, and attempting to re-create it as we speak!
you made me think of tying my shoe laces creatively. Thank you!
what a great post! i will definitely be giving some of these a try. now, if i can only give up my velcro shoes for laced ones, lol
great post, I never knew there were some many ways to tie your shoes. Very good post
Fantastic! I too was totally unaware of the amount of different ways to tie a shoe lace, although looking at them I have definitely used at least three of these ways!
Awesome post! I been looking for some unique ties for my shoes – the bushwalk is the one for me I think, cool as ….. Many thanks!
I’ve got to pass this along to my friends. I never knew there were options about this kind of stuff.
As someone who is always finding my shoes untied, that is pretty amazing. It must take forever to get some of those tied and some look like they might be useful.
Wow! TOO COOL! As a member of the Baby Boomer Generation with arthritis in my feet, I’m giving the curly shoelaces a try. Easy off and on and don’t keep coming untied! BUT I bet my tween grandkids would LOVE to see these directions and will have to pass the info on to them. Thank you. Off to post a link here on Twitter.
