How You Lace Changes Both Fit and Style
Even with the same shoe, how you lace it can dramatically change how securely it holds the foot and how it looks. Choose a method with strong hold for active pursuits like running or hiking, and a more stylish method for everyday wear.
Lacing for Comfort, Not Just Looks
Beyond appearance, lacing method can solve real fit problems β skipping eyelets over a sore spot, or adding a locking loop at the ankle, are simple adjustments that can make a shoe noticeably more comfortable without changing shoes.
