Start with the lace evenly threaded through the bottom eyelets
Pull both lace ends so they are equal in length
Cross the laces over and feed them through the next set of eyelets
Continue lacing upward in a crisscross pattern
Keep the tension even on both sides
Stop at the top eyelets if you want a classic look
Tuck the lace ends inside the boot or tie them in a knot
For a straight-bar look, run each lace end straight across to the opposite eyelet
For a loose style, leave a little slack between each set of eyelets
For a secure fit, tighten each section as you go
For a cleaner finish, hide the knot behind the tongue or inside the boot
