I havnt seen this done in 45 years since my dad was in the RAF. Going to do all my boots this way from now on. Thank you.

[@Noob_NationYT]

Hi Sir, im a year one cadet AC in 121 Red Arrows and this video really helped me put for my first CO's parade and ACR is coming up so now i know how to strait lace my boots

[@TownleyVM]

That’s great. Have an amazing ACR.

[@cometlord1]

This video is perfect. No other way to describe it.

[@TownleyVM]

Thank you so much.

[@dippy_dot_mann6922]

As a first year AC this was probably the mist helpful video ever. Parade boot lacing was always and issue for my brother, but I'm happy to have found this video

[@TownleyVM]

Pen_On Paper_Inkspill that's awesome. I'm glad it was helpful to you. Best of luck.

[@dippy_dot_mann6922]

It sure was! Thank you, Sir.

[@GainZhu]

Thank you so much! im a AC and this helped me out so much today at CO's parade!

[@TownleyVM]

Glad it helped!

[@avishek12373]

Not in the Army but a great fan of combat gear. Recently bought a pair of combat boots and this video was of great help.

[@marie-pierreduval8840]

Thank you! This video came in handy to lace up my son's cadet boots for his first Rememberance Day parade.

[@bojanmilankovic]

You're not just helping cadets. I'm in the Army and I still come back to this occasionally.

[@TownleyVM]

So happy to hear this video helps.

[@bojanmilankovic]

@@TownleyVM it sure does. I only wear DEU's once or twice a year and I never seem to be able to remember how to do this.

[@wrcz]

Thank you for this. I'm not in the military but it looks great with Doc Martens. I modified it a bit for a more casual look, I stop when I have 4 holes done straight, then just pull the laces through to the next hole without skipping (criss cross) and tie a normal knot (with a bow). So 5 out of 8 holes are used. Makes it easy to get in/out the shoe quickly, looks clean, stylish.

[@Ian.toyuki]

Thank you Sir, I’m a level one in 151 Chadburn Squadron, and this helped a lot, I had no idea how to lace up my boots (I honestly forgot) and this helped a lot!

[@armyofmc1]

Sir, thank you from the 338 Junior Wildcats Squadron. This video helped a lot. Tomorrow I’m going to my squadron’s drill team.

[@panthergirlk930]

Thank you, Sir! This helped alot, I am only a cadet but I had to use my dress uniform today, thank you so much!!!

[@ethanbickford3091]

Thank you sir I'm an flight corporal in the air cadet program I was able to show our new cadets this video and now they all have perfect laced boots

[@cloutogelevatedtv9000]

ethan bickford I'm a sergeant in air cadets and I had trouble with my boots up until now, what squadron are you from?

[@giodrakes]

Thank you Sir :D I am not in the cadets, but I love straight lacing my boots. I just got a new pair, and thought to look it up to see. I like your method way better than the method I had been using for the past 20 years! Thank you again for sharing.

[@brandonlowe2962]

Thank you dearly sir I am a beginner sea cadet and just got promoted and I had no clue on how to do this thank you for showing me

[@AntiSkillzee]

Thank you so much! All the other videos were unclear and not helping. Found this video and it helped a lot much appreciated!! :)

[@anishamalaraj2645]

Thanks sir! I'm in Air Cadets and I graduated from my Recruit course. I got my uniform but didn't know how to tie my boot like this and you helped! Again thank you! :)

[@skatingrat3502]

I’m not in the military but I needed a way to tie up my combat boots, thank you!!!

[@uk82punkz]

lol. very funny to watch a guy teaching how to lace boots the way i invented it ages ago. remember to ALWAYS go inside outwards at top hole to avoid use scissors to get your shoe off

[@johnsandherr1814]

As a Military Police Officer in the Army - back in the mid 1970's we used WHITE LACES & a Ladder lace when wearing our dress uniform. With Jump Boots I must say we looked pretty dam SHARP. It was a pain at first but once I got the hang of it I was sold. However I wasn't to cool with the green ascot we had to wear but i got use to that to.

[@thanaphatchakrabandhu7547]

I’m a recruit at 2316 The Royal Westminster Regiment. I’ve just received my C1 and Parade boots. Just checking to make sure because I am unsure, we thread the laces in from the inside right? I do not know how to wear my uniforms yet. Thank you.

thanks, tim!

[@PANCINGKARAT]

Good luck brother 😎👍

[@misankroptic]

Alright, so I wear 12 eyelet, bone-dry leather boots.
Would I have to replace them every time I put them on with this method?
Also, I use paracord instead of laces. Does that affect the lacing procedure at all?

[@goldenmatrix9987]

I love u sooo much. Thank you.

[@LordWellington15]

Life saver 🫡

[@fartmechanic8903]

[@DanielJLopes]

Sounds like I can use this technique in my motorcycle boots, as I am afraid of loose laces going arround and about while riding.

Thanks Alot

[@soheilnikzadeh6359]

thanks

[@desmankwan2012]

thank you

[@bomber3933]

Nice one !
I hadn't thought, the "Balkenschnürung" (as it's called in Germany) is used by soldiers.
I've just seen this used by my Skinhead comrades and some Punks.
But i know another way to do this.

[@TheChillimouse]

Basically anyone wearing dr martens does their laces this way. think the knot is weird and useless tho.

[@elalenisback7640]

i just got my uniform and this helped a lot. thank you, sir

[@TownleyVM]

You are very welcome. Enjoy your experiences in the cadets.

[@xIToastyy]
