Two Trillion Ways to Lace a Shoe!



Did you know that there are 2 trillion ways to lace a 12 eyelet shoe? Unbelievable...

Another dealer pointed me to a site that is dedicated to shoes laces - how to lace shoes, different knots, tips and hints for shoelaces, ratings on lacing and knots, plus loads of other useful (and sometimes useless) information! The site was created by an Aussie gentleman named Ian Fieggen who, as he puts it, has way too much time on his hands!

Did you know that the end of a shoelace is called an aglet? Have you ever had that plastic tip fall off and then you couldn't get the shoelace through the eyelet? Ian shows you how to repair it!

Do your shoes constantly come untied unless you double knot them? You are probably tying a slip knot. Find out how to correct this!

Have you ever wondered how some of the younger generation tie lace their shoes into such fancy patterns? Ian will show you many ways to have an ornamental lace pattern!

Have I peaked your interest? If so, visit Ian's site by clicking here. A fun way to spend some time...

Till later,
Caesar...
