Interlace the ties. For ankle boots, high-tops and other closed shoes, start by inserting the lace across the bottom eyelets. You should have two long laces at each side. Alternately slot in the laces opposite their part, this will give a zigzag appearance. Continue until you have reached the topmost eyelet. In addition, assess the tightness of the laces occasionally to avoid ill-fitting shoes. It is best to leave some slack at the bottom of the boot. This will allow you to pull the laces to the appropriate tightness when you have finished lacing.

Wrap it around. In terms of sandals and wedges that do not have eyelets, grab the two laces and interweave them behind your ankle. Bring the two sections in front and interlace them again after which the ties should be at the back once more. Repeat this process until the lace is sufficient enough to be knotted. A creative way of wearing the lace is by intertwining them around the leg while leaving spaces in between the weave.

Bind it. Secure the ties by knotting them. Take one end and place it under the opposite strand, and knot it securely. Form two loops and firmly interlock them. To create a clean and polished look, the knot could be hidden or tucked inside the shoe. For a whimsical take, make a ribbonlike tie when you wear sandals.
