How to Do Straight Style Shoelaces
- 1). Put the lace aglets into the eyelet holes from the top and feed them inward. The aglets are the plastic or metal tips on the ends of laces that keep them from fraying.
- 2). Pull the lace in so that it is taut, with a straight line across the bottom between the first two eyelets, and the ends of the laces even on both sides.
- 3). Run the right side lace straight up to the next eyelet from underneath, and bring it out. Now stretch it across to the eyelet directly opposite it, so you've made another straight line. Run the lace down into the eyelet and pull it taut.
- 4). Take the left eyelet, and run it up to the second eyelet, or the one above the eyelet you just fed the right lace into, from underneath. Bring it up and out, and across to the eyelet on the other side of the shoe, making the third bar. Put the lace down into the hole and pull taut.
- 5). Continue moving up the eyelets, alternating the right lace, then the left. Bring it up the side from beneath to the next hole, across, down and in as before, until all the eyelets are filled and the bars run across each pair.
