The Straight-Bar method is a simple and beautiful way to lace your shoes. This technique works best for shoes with 6 or 8 holes on each side. Do you have an odd number of holes? No problem! Just skip a hole. Follow our step-by-step guide and discover how to tie your laces in a new way!
Step 1
Choose a lace that perfectly matches the color and thickness of your shoes. Place the shoe with the toe towards you for the perfect start.
Step 2
Insert the lace from below through the bottom two eyelets, on both the left and right sides, inwards. Make sure both ends are equal for a symmetrical base.
Step 3
Take the left lace and insert it vertically into the third eyelet upwards, from the inside out. This creates the first elegant vertical line.
Step 4
Now take the right elastic lace and first put it through the second eyelet on the right, from the inside out. Continue by putting the same lace horizontally into the second eyelet on the left. The vertical and horizontal lines will cross each other.

Step 6
Use the left lace (the one that formed the first vertical line) to thread horizontally into the third eyelet on the right side. Let the end come in.
Step 7
Take the same right lace and insert it vertically into the fifth eyelet facing upwards.
Step 8
Use the lace that is inserted into the fourth eyelet from the inside out and insert it horizontally into the fourth eyelet on the right, from the outside in.
Step 9
Insert the same lace vertically upwards into the last free eyelet on the right side.
Step 10
Take the lace that you put in the fifth eyelet on the right and put it horizontally into the fifth eyelet on the left. Complete the pattern by putting the same lace vertically into the last eyelet.
