You might have solved a couple of problems that can be addressed by lacing my shoes differently. I’ll be trying the lacing for high arches on top of my feet & might even attempt to combo with big toe pain. If nothing else, it could save me some pain as my toenail attempts to grow back again. My big toenails have had to be removed numerous times until my surgeon narrowed my big toe’s nails in order to alleviate constant ingrown toenails; he killed the root of the nails on each side of both big toe nails. And, it worked great for more than a decade or so. I haven’t had any issues with ingrown toenails in either big toe since. However, over the last couple of years, my nails on each big toe began splitting horizontally across the nail at, give or take, about mid way up the nail. It peels until the nail from the midline area of each big toe peels across the nail bed leaving pain & bleeding. As the remaining part of the nail(s) begins growing again, it starts to feel soft & layered. It grows until almost at the top of the toe then it starts at the middle of the nail all over again. My doctor has removed the nail a few times in hopes it will help but so far, the problem returns like clockwork. My biggest fear is risk of infection as I have Lupus (SLE), Sjogren’s, & fibromyalgia. Any additional ideas or tips?

7 years later, the vid is still appreciated

THANK YOU! This video saved my feet!!

after watching this video i realised that i might have high arch prob and loosening my knot that creat other prob of heel slipping thanks i man wherever you are much appreciated

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I've combined wide foot, heel slipping, and adjusted for having fewer holes. This helped sooo much for getting shoes working with hallux rigidus. :-D

best video yet.

Thanks! Now I just have to figure out which technique to use as I have both wide feet and developed toenail problems (but never the big toes). I do have more than a thumb width of space at the front of my shoes.

With Wide zfoot technique, what concerns or issue would there be, instead of running up the side 2 eyelets and just skipping the 2nd eyelet, then cross from 3rd like you do? Thanks!

Thanks a lot! very helpful video

Спасибо большое, Стив!

The top of my right foot is very sensitive due to being stepped on by a calf years ago. Just bought a pair of Nike Woman's Flex Trainers and they are uncomfortable on that right foot. I've loosened the tases on that shoe was was wondering if you had a technique that would help me.

Low arch and medium arch?? Pls suggest...

Hi Steve, which technique could be closest to flat feet issues? thanks

Am I the only one that is driven crazy lol hen he does not straighten the laces? They are all twisted up and I can’t watch anymore!! It’s a good video, but those twists!!!
