Lacing Technique – Variation 1 – Low visible X above one straight segment • Begin straight across on the outside and in through the bottom eyelets. • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the next higher set of eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • The left end crosses diagonally on the inside, then straight across on the outside. • The right end crosses diagonally on the inside at a steeper angle, then straight across on the outside. • Alternate running the left and right ends diagonally until lacing is completed.

Lacing Technique – Variation 2 – Mid visible X above two straight segments • Begin straight across on the outside and in through the bottom eyelets. • The left end crosses diagonally on the inside, then straight across on the outside. • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the next higher set of eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • The left end crosses diagonally on the inside, then straight across on the outside. • The right end crosses diagonally on the inside at a steeper angle, then straight across on the outside. • Alternate running the left and right ends diagonally until lacing is completed.

Lacing Technique – Variation 3 – High visible X above three straight segments • Begin straight across on the outside and in through the bottom eyelets. • The left end crosses diagonally on the inside, then straight across on the outside. • The right end crosses diagonally on the inside at a steeper angle, then straight across on the outside. • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the next higher set of eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the top eyelets.

Lacing Technique – Variation 4 – Two visible Xs spread apart • Begin straight across on the inside and out through the bottom eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the first “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • The left end crosses diagonally on the inside, then straight across on the outside. • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the next higher set of eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the second “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the top eyelets.

Lacing Technique – Variation 5 – Two visible Xs close together • Begin straight across on the inside and out through the bottom eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the first “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the next higher set of eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the second “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • The left end crosses diagonally on the inside, then straight across on the outside. • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the top eyelets.

Lacing Technique – Variation 6 – Three visible Xs • Begin straight across on the inside and out through the bottom eyelets. • Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the next higher set of eyelets. This forms the first “signal” crossover (shown in yellow). • Cross the ends on the inside and feed out through the next higher set of eyelets. • Alternate crossing over on the outside or inside until lacing is completed, with those on the outside forming multiple “signal” crossovers.
