Description from the creator

How to lace shoes with “Straight European Lacing”, a traditional lacing method that was previously more common in Europe. The shoelaces run straight across on the outside and diagonally on the inside. On dress shoes, where the sides come together in the middle, the underlying diagonals are hidden, leaving only neat horizontals visible.
