This Is The Way We Lace Our Shoes

I thought I would share this illustration from the current LAST magazine with you. There are many ways to lace your shoes, the parallel, the over wrap, the under wrap, all are perfectly acceptable but at Leffot we prefer the single method, why? Because it looks neat, well groomed and also holds the shoes snugly in place.

The text of the article explains that basically any of these methods are acceptable for business dress.

    If I recall correctly, the second method presented (upper right corner) is the way english shoemaker recommand you tie your shoes.

    The 2 methods last method presented are according to me, are more casual. I’d do this to my sandringham with a ridgeway sole if anything.

    Once again, Great post Steven keep up the good work
