How to lace up your Wing Tips

Aight this entry is for all you corporate studs. In business, you dress for the details...the cuff links, the type of knot, your pen and so on. So I want to talk about you're basic wing tip. The key to looking fashionable is not just about the shoe itself, but also how you lace em up. Don't let the douche bag at the store lace up the shoes, take the time to lace them your self. A sleek and always appropriate way to lace wing tips is the "straight lace". Below are some instructions on how to do it yourself.


Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.

2. One end of the lace (blue end) is fed straight up the left side all the way to, and emerges from, the top left eyelet.

3. The other end (yellow end) runs straight up the right side, emerges and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.

4. The same end (yellow end) works its way up and across back and forth through the remaining eyelets.
