Would you recommend keeping this lacing after you buy a pair of dress shoes? If not, what would you recommend? Brown leather dress shoe, 5 islets on each side near the top.
I definitely recommend this lacing for dress shoes - particularly if the sides come close enough together to hide the underlying zig-zag. Compared to other straight lacing methods like “Straight Bar Lacing”, this method tightens moe evenly without “pinching” the shoe material.
Oh, ok. I'll leave them like this then. Thanks! This lacing technique isn't just historical as you said. New brown leather dress shoes I bought two weeks ago (March 2024) came with this lacing.
Yes, but it will end up looking slightly different. To tuck in the ends, you will have to skip one of the inner diagonals. For example, you can skip the long diagonal by tucking one end in at the bottom, zig-zagging the shoelace from bottom to top and tucking the other end in at the top.
For a leather dress shoe, I'd suggest "Roman Lacing", which would result in a nice symmetrical pair of crossovers separated by a single straight segment. Most lacing methods can be finished off without a visible bow using something like "Lace Anchors".
Thank you professor... You saved my life... Seriously
You're most welcome, I'm pleased that a simple shoe lacing technique could have had such a profound effect on your life. Enjoy the lacing.

I mean 4 islets on each side, not 5.

Oh, right - interesting to hear that it's still fairly common in shoe shops.

Any way to make the top one be a straight bar and then tuck in the laces instead of having them come out and lacing them

@@ProfShoelace Thank you! :)
What is the function that style sir ?
There's no great benefit to this lacing. I've only documented this method for historical reasons.
