Question
Does anybody know how to lace boots in the same way as the British military does? I like the look of it, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I think it is right over left and left over right double laced... if that makes sense...

Out of the 33 ways to lace a shoe/boot on that site, I'm sure that one of them is going to be the one you are looking for!
Best Regards,
Neil

Thanks Ideality! I liked the look of the Army Lacing, so I'm going to implement it on my combat boots.

I keep forgetting how long my laces are, they're nearly twice my height, and I'm 6'2"

*gapes* How the fuck tall are your boots, Wormboy? Or do you have huge amounts of laces trailing or tucked in?
On second thought... boots can take up quite a bit of lace... I wonder how long the ones on my knee-highs are...

Mine are knee high demonia riot 20s (keep in mind knee high at six two is a tall boot) but yeah they give me a fuckload of lace. I just tuck it in ^_^

Oh man, I'm totally tempted to re-lace my boots now and I should also bother polishing them. Finding laces for boots like that is a bitch, it took me months to find any for mine. Not fun times.

That was my same reaction after stumbling on to that site... And I thought one's shoe lace mastery topped off after kindergarden.
Glad you all enjoyed!

I just relaced them, but they looked really strange because my laces were all wrinkled, and it bothered me, so I redid them to normal, and that took me a rather long time for one boot.I have 17 eyes in mine, and they're knee high.
Meep, Wormboy, you're almost a foot taller than me.

I need new boots, I've been wearing my work boots, and I can't afford a good pair of Grinders or Getta Grips. I would like to find 10-14 hole high combat style boots, but I don't have any money.

I think I might get some motorcycle boots, they'd look good with the motorcycle I plan on getting.

That stuff is pretty awesome...but both pairs of my boots have buckles on...so noone would see the laces anyway....stupid shoes. I eat them.
Actually...I love them. They don't need cool laces. XD!

I felt the same, poor boots should be polished more often. Shiny boots.
