Diamond lacing method for shoes with a unique pattern

If you're looking for a striking and unique lacing pattern, the "Diamond" lacing method is definitely for you. This technique, ideal for shoes with 7 or 9 holes, not only creates a visually appealing look but also offers a secure and comfortable fit. Combined with our 6mm flat elastic laces, you'll get not only beautiful style but also optimal comfort.

Step 1

Place the shoe with the toes facing you. Thread the laces from the inside out through the bottom eyelets, so that the lace tips point outward, creating a straight line.

Step 1 of the Diamond lacing method: laces are threaded from the inside out through the bottom eyelets.

Step 2

When looking at the shoe from the front, pull the right lace diagonally toward the left eyelet, skipping one eyelet. Pull the lace through the eyelet from the outside to the inside.

Step 2 of the Diamond lacing method, the right side of the lace is threaded diagonally towards the left eyelet.

Step 3

Repeat step 2 on the other side of the shoe. Then, pull the lace through the eyelet you skipped earlier, from the inside out. Repeat this on the other side. The pattern should now start to resemble a diamond shape.

Step 3 of the Diamond Stringing Method, the pattern will begin to resemble a diamond shape.

Step 4

Now pull the lace diagonally to the next free eyelet and thread it from the outside in. Repeat this on the other side of the shoe.

Step 4 of the Diamond lacing method, the lace is threaded diagonally to the next free eyelet.

Step 5

Thread the lace from the inside out through the eyelet directly below the last eyelet threaded on the right side. Repeat on the other side. This reinforces the diamond pattern.

Step 5 of the Diamond lacing method: laces are threaded from the inside out through the eyelet directly below the previous one.

Step 6

Pull the lace diagonally to the next free eyelet, from the outside inward, and then thread the lace from the inside outward through the eyelet directly below it. Repeat this on the other side of the shoe.

Step 6 of the Diamond lacing method, laces are threaded diagonally and again from the inside out through the eyelet below.

Step 7

Repeat the process again: pull the lace diagonally to the next free eyelet, from the outside in. Repeat on the other side.

Step 7 of the Diamond lacing method, the lace is threaded diagonally to the next free eyelet.

Step 8

Pull the lace from the inside out through the eyelet directly below the last eyelet you threaded. Repeat this on both sides. If it looks good, you're almost done!

Step 8 of the Diamond lacing method: laces are threaded from the inside out through the eyelet directly below the previous one.

Step 9

Pull the laces through the last eyelets from the outside in. Then you can tie the laces with the desired closure, depending on the type of laces you have. For elastic laces, you can find the closure instructions on our elastic lace instructions page.

Step 9 of the Diamond lacing method: the laces are threaded through the last eyelets from the outside in.
