this is another very easy to practise type of lacing inspite it looks a bit complicated on the boot. it is a sort of STRAIGHT BAR LACING which distributes pressure evenly plus keeps the knots & ends to the side, away from snagging undergrowth. for bikers you must lace your boots the way that the knots will be outside away from chain and cranks. HIKING LACING looks really interesting and technic on your boots. here practised on my beloved classic icon RED WING SHOES 877. pics | LTG _ graphic | IAN FIEGGEN
