Spiderweb shoe lacing
This decorative method is worn on military boots and looks great on long boots.
Start on the second eyelet holes from the bottom. Go straight through from one side to the other.
Now take the end of the shoelace straight down and into the bottom eyelet hole on each side.
Now cross over and go diagonally up to the next vacant set of eyelets on the opposite side.
Now go down and hook through the lace directly below, take the shoelace diagonally up to the next vacant eyelet.
Do the same on the other side.
Keep going that way, hooking down through the lace below on the outside, then diagonally up and through from the inside of the shoe, until you have laced your shoes to the top.
See the intricate spiderwebbing you have formed? Cool!
