Using Straight Bar Lacing

    Feed the right lace under the bottom eyehole. The eyeholes refer to the holes in the shoes that the laces are fed through. Take the right end of the lace and feed it through the bottommost eyehole on the right, feeding the lace in the direction of the opposite eyehole on the left. Make sure the lace goes over the flaps of the shoes and not under.[1]

    • When you lace your shoes this way, the laces should go down into the eyehole, rather than starting underneath and coming up.[2]

    Loop the left lace over the opposite eyehole. Repeat the same process with the left corner of the lace. Feed the lace through the bottommost eyehole on the left, pulling it in the direction of the opposite eyehole. Make sure to loop the lace over the flap and not under it.[3]

    Feed the right lace through the second eyehole up. The tip of the right lace should be under the flap of your shoe. Feed the right lace through the bottom of the second eyehole on the right. Pull the lace through so there's a tight line of lace running from the bottom eyehole to second eyehole up under the right flap of your shoe.[4]

    Pass the right lace to the opposite eyehole on the left. Your right lace should be on top of the flap of the shoe, coming out of the second highest eyehole. Pass the right lace to the left flap of the shoe. Feed it through the top of the second eyehole, lacing it over the shoe, on the left. Pull the lace until there's a snug line of lace connecting the second eyehole on the right with the second eyehole on the left.[5]

    Pull the left lace through the third eyehole on the left. The left lace should still be pulled under the first eyehole. Passing the left lace under the flap of the shoe, feed it through the bottom of the third eyehole up. Tug on the lace until there's a tight line under the left flap of the shoe running from the first to third eyehole.[6]

    Feed the left lace through the third eyehole on the right. Pass the left lace to the right shoe. Feed it through the top of the third eyehole on the right. Pull the lace to form a tight line of lace running from the third eyehole on the right to the third eyehole on the left.[7]

    Repeat with the process with the right lace. You have now established the pattern you'll continue as you lace your shoes. Feed the lace on the right through the fourth eyehole up. Pull the lace tightly and then pass it to the left. Feed it through the top of the fourth eyehole on the left.[8]

    Continue the pattern until the shoe is laced. Go back and forth with this pattern, moving from the left to the right laces. Move the lace up one eyehole and then transfer the lace to the opposite flap to feed it through the top of the opposite eyehole. Stop once you reach the top eyehole.[9]

    Tuck the laces into your shoes. It is not necessary to tie dress shoes. In fact, etiquette dictates that you instead tuck your laces into the tops of your shoes once you've finished lacing them.[10]
