Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Cool.

But if I don't lace right over left on right shoe and left over right on my left shoe then everyone I know and love will die horribly.

I don't know any of those things, wide, narrow, high... how do I determine which I have? compared to what?

How exactly does the parallel lace one work? Like I don't see where the laces come out underneath

I'd guess each side is alternating and skips one intermittent hole

I guessed the same. I have annoyingly wide feet, so I might give this a try, but I feel like it would leave too much loose lace

I usually go with Train Track, but I've had to replace my laces recently while away and could only get ones that were too thick to double up in the eyelets so reverted to Ladder.

I find these very similar in feel to the straight methods but you can get them much tighter. Also depending on the shoes you can hide the verticals for the train track method behind the eyelets which has a distinctive look.

If you like this sort of thing check out Ian's Shoelace Site, has hundreds of examples of this sort of thing for every scenario possible.

If you find it please share, I'd love to take a look, I'm terrible with remembering knots.
