Even though your shoes are fit appropriately, there may be some specific problems with your shoes that lacing techniques can resolve.
 | Heel Slippage? To prevent your heel from slipping, criss-cross your laces normally and when you reach the top, form a lace-lock. |
 | Toe Problems? If you have hammer toes, corns, bleeding toes or toenail problems, lace you shoes so the toe-box area is lifted. |
 | High Arch? Lace your shoe so that the shoelace travels in a staight line from eyelet to eyelet. By avoiding the criss-cross, tou remove pressure points on the tongue of the shoe which causes pain to the top of the foot. |
 | Narrow Heel, Wide Forefoot? Use two sets of short shoelaces, one to lace the bottom three eyelets and the second to lace the top eyelets. For a good heel fit eith no slippage, use the "lace lock" technique (as seen in heel slippage) at the top. |
 | Pain on the Top of Your Foot? If you have pain on the top of your feet, leave a space in the lacing to remove pressure. |
