Nice. When you get to the last step and form your loop, come from underneath rather than over the top. This will result in a "balanced" lace with the bows or loops completely horizontal and not diagonal or vertical, which are more likely to loosen.

Very good explanation, simple sound reasoning. For wearing boots in a 'hiking' or walking mode. I especially like the double loop on the Bow knot. I learned that trick in the mid '60s from a grand ma showing me how to tie toddlers' shoes (pre velcro era) so they stayed tied until the kid actually pulled the shoes off. I also learned from a military Vet to tie my 8" Red Wing lace ups (similar eyelet pattern to the boot in your video) in the 'Ladder ' style. My work was in boiler rooms, steam tunnels. machine rooms, reservoirs, i.e. lots of confined spaces. Could not afford to have boot lace problems, and I never did. I did follow all your basics, plus the ladder style lacing and the granny double loop bow knot. When I'm out in the back woods or fishing, I did my hiking boots as you show, and it is way more comfortable than the ladder style. So whatever the conditions demand, or allow. Thanks for an important, but neglected, daily life factor. (Since I retired I live in my Birkie Sandals.)

My big issue was the variety of chemicals used in Boiler and Chiller water daily maintenance and potable water disinfecting. My Red wings would last 2 to 4 years until the leather uppers could crack & split, never was able to wear out the soles. Hope your days get easier.

You're foot is the specs from your elbow to your wrist.

If you tie your bow, and the bow sits diagonally on your shoe-then you tied it wrong A cattywampus bow that has one bunny rabbit ear pointing downward or diagonal, is a type of slipped granny knot. A slipped square knot will have both bunny rabbit ears level. The remedy is to watch the way you tie your shoe The bow part is more difficult to relearn than the base or half knot part You have been making both knots either left over right Or right over left Easiest fix is to change how you tie base knot or half knot If you were using left over right, change it to right over left Then tie bow same as you always do, and your bow will sit level across your shoe This knot will now not only look better, but also be much more secure and less likely to come untied during the day Thank you for making great boot lace videos

First of all to say: I love your channel and gear reviews and the production values you maintain! I also agree with you in this video that this a good (if not the only) method to lace and secure your boots. However, I thought it might help some folks if I shared my own journey with boots. About 10 years ago I found the best method for me personally to deal with boots was to loosen all the laces, take the boots off, put them in the cupboard and leave them there..... (where they still are, untouched, 10+ years later!)...and instead to go hiking and backpacking in (non-waterproof) trail shoes! For me this is way more comfortable than even the best fitting boots I ever had (and I've been hiking for about 50 years!) Wet or dry, hot or cold - Scotland, Wales, the Lake District, the Alps, the Rockies, the Arizona desert, the Himalayas, the soaking wet Pacific North West in Canada (where I now live), the Sahara, the Caucasus - I've got wet many times but only once had blisters in an entire decade (seriously)! Prior to that I'd get a blister or two or three every trip and be tired out from wearing heavy boots. I'm never going back to boots (not for hiking/backpacking anyway)! Just thought I'd encourage others who never manage to get on with boots to consider another way...

Great video - Just something very important to remember to prevent serious injury. Leaving large loops in the tied laces on a speed lacing system is very dangerous. The loop in the tied lace can get caught on the inside speed lace hook. If that happens you WILL fall. Hiking speed and terrain will then determine the severity of your injury.

The laces should be threaded over the eyelets no under. This will maintain a firm tightness. the lace loops are designed to be looped twice, that's why your laces are so long

Those are one good looking pair of boots

Thank you

Awesome! Thanks for the video! As someone with slim skinny feet with high arches I always have trouble getting the right amount of tension on the laces to hold my foot and heel in place. I'm using your rule of thumb from now on and also adapting your double wrap tie instead of double knotting my boots... Just as secure and not hard to undue..

It sounds like orthotics would be the first option, then if that doesn't solve the issue, try tightening the laces over the toe area as you normally would, miss out a few eyelets where the aching occurs and resume usual lacing above. Kind regards, Harry.

I've always aimed to get the knot at the point my foot meets my leg. Once I get to the speed hooks. I'll go set 2 them up to 3 then down to o e and tie there. This stoppes pinching around my ankle and the top of my boot

I tie my shoelaces backwards or for lack of a better term, “the opposite way” you normally tie them. So if you naturally wrap one lace under & over the other, I wrap the opposite lace over & under the other & continue this method for the rest of the “rabbit ear” style knot. Never trip, step on or retie loose or untied laces when I tie them this way.

It's a difficult one with your ankles as if you loosen the laces around that area, the heel of the boot can become loose and you'll end up with blisters. Socks can make a big difference; something a little thicker and with a higher stitch count (for example, www.trekitt.co.uk/3056/products/darn-tough-mens-boot-sock-full-cushion-black.aspx ) can add extra protection to the area becoming irritated.

I like how damage to your foot is bad, but damage to the boots is the extreme case...

@trekitt

2 жыл бұрын

Haha, probably not the best choice of wording

If the boot has regular riveted eyelets, thread the laces in Xs pattern starting going in the 1st set coming straight out the 2nd set without crossing then going across and then in the 3rd set going again straight up without crossing out the 4th set and so forth until the ankle, so that that the laces only cross over the eyelets away from the tongue and dont create hotspots at the tarsal area. Over the ankle i like to thread them in a spiral way if the same kind of eyelets is used instead of speed hooks. Yeah it takes more time to get the boots on and off but they are much more comfortable to wear that way.

I'd be interested to know what to do with the bows to stop them catching on a lace hook on the opposite boot when walking.

Oh no! Sorry to hear this, hope you've recovered ok. Speed hooks have their place in lacing boots, but as you can attest they can lead to some unfortunate accidents if things don't go to plan. One tip if you continue to use them (and haven't thrown them out in a fit of rage, we wouldn't blame you) is to fold the cuff of your socks down and tuck your lace loops into the cuff, that should hold the loops neatly and out of the way so you hopefully don't come a cropper again.
