    The Big thread about Lacing tips for shoes and boots

    ...this means your foot can slide around. One thing I found v useful is to ensure that my heel is in the very back of the boot/shoe before lacing. Best if possible to have the back (rather than the bottom) of the heel against the ground or a step when doing this. Then lace the boot/shoe...

    Quick lace issues on my Salomon X Ultra Gore-Tex Trail shoes

    Hi all A few weeks ago I bought a pair of Salomon X Ultra Gore-Tex Trail shoes with a quick lace system. However, after a short time of wearing them (15 minutes) of light walking the laces on both shoes tend to loosen. I have checked each shoe thoroughly to see if there are any defects, or if...

    Lacing - Try preventing blisters, or the dreaded black toenail, with a “Heel Lock” or “Lace Lock”.

    ...most important piece of equipment a pilgrim takes, I would submit a video demonstrating the use of the perhaps not-so-well known 'Heel lock' lacing technique. It utilises the two top sets of eyelets. As the name suggests its purpose is to lock the heel into the back of the shoe thereby...

    A Tigger Tip - a lacing lesson

    ...a completely open shoe, for an initial judging of length and width. THEN start to lace them. I had previously fallen into the trap of only unlacing enough to put my foot in and on some shoes this meant I thought them too narrow. This is especially true if your shoes, like my Merrell Moabs...

    Those !!!! Boot Laces

    Thursday October 11th 2012 Casar de Caceres - Canaveral We were just coming up to one of the bridges across the Embalse de Alcantara (reservoir) when the loop from one of my boot laces got caught in the other boot and I went flying over into the road. Two scratched knees, one broken finger...

    Comfy shoes/boots and laces that don't come undone

    My apologies if this is teaching your grandmother to suck eggs. Your shoes or boots were comfortable for the first hour or so, but then they began to pinch across the toes. What do you do? Relace your shoes/boots missing out the lowest two eyelets (one on each side). This means there is no...
