Skaters are an advanced people. Despite the fact that skateboarding is a fairly young sport, it already has its own traditions in clothing. This is due not so much to the fashion for this or that equipment, but to safety reasons. Of course, special attention is paid to footwear. Skaters choose sneakers that fit snugly and securely to avoid injury. It is important to be able and properly lace up your sneakers.
Instructions
Step 1
There are several ways to lacing a skater.
European lacing. Pass the lace with both ends through the bottom holes of the sneaker and then pull the ends out. Pull one end of the lace crosswise out through the next hole.
Step 2
Pull the other end of the lace crosswise out through one hole on the opposite side. Lace up alternately. The result is a straight lacing on the outside and a criss-cross through one hole on the inside. Such lacing is fast and neat, as well as strong and reliable. It is easy to tighten.
Step 3
Lacing with knots. Pull the lace with both ends out of the bottom holes of the shoe. Tie the ends once, spread them apart and pass them through the next pair of holes from the bottom to the outside. Repeat lacing to the end. This lacing is durable and ideal for athletic shoes as the knots provide extra puckering.
