How to Lace Skate Board Shoes

Skateboarding sneakers can be laced in several different manners. However, a traditional over/under lacing system makes the shoes easy to adjust, comfortable and snug enough to provide support during rides. Over/under lacing is easy to do and only requires a few minutes to complete.

Instructions

1. Place the lace through the right and left eyelets at the bottom of the shoe, closest to the toe. The laces should emerge from the underside of the eyelets.

2. Make sure the length is even before you start lacing up the sneaker, as uneven ends will create an uneven length at the top for the knot.

3. Place the right-side lace through the next left-side lace. Repeat with the right side. The laces should emerge from the outside of the sneaker.

4. Lace the left-side lace into the next right-side hole. Place the lace in from the stop so it emerges from the bottom, and repeat on the other side.

5. Continue up the sneaker in an alternating inside/outside pattern until you reach the final eyelet. The laces should emerge from the bottom of the eyelet at the final hole.
