Lattice Lacing
(Lug version)
A lug version of Lattice Lacing. Great for boots and sneakers with a wide gap, this very popular method forms a neat woven lattice in the middle of the lacing.

TIP:
It's easier to do the weaving and get all the "Overs" and "Unders" correct if you firstly lace one end all the way to the top of the shoe. For example, complete the left (blue) end, then weave the right (yellow) end in and out.
For more information and photos, see the eyelet version of Lattice Lacing.
