Tips & Warnings
Try using a larger style of laces if you really want the lattice style to look good. Smaller laces look fine, but wider laces really make the look pop. Don't get frustrated if the lattice style doesn't suit you. DC shoes work in a number of different ways and you can always lace the shoes the way you would any other running shoes. Do the left side of the shoes first and then the right side if you think it's too complicated. Just weave the laces on the right side through the other laces while you're doing it.
This way of lacing DC shoes shouldn't be used if you're constantly adjusting the length and size of your shoes since it makes that harder to do.
