If you are looking for a striking and unique lacing pattern, then the "Diamond" lacing method is definitely for you. This technique, ideal for shoes with 7 or 9 eyelets, not only provides a visually appealing look, but also offers a secure and comfortable fit. In combination with our 6mm flat elastic laces, you will not only get a beautiful style, but also optimal comfort.
Step 1
Place the shoe with the toe towards you. Thread the laces from the inside out through the bottom eyelets, so that the ends of the laces point outwards and a straight line is created.
Step 2
When looking at the shoe from the front, pull the right side of the lace diagonally towards the left eyelet, skipping one eyelet. Pull the lace from the outside in through the eyelet.
Step 3
Repeat step 2 on the other side of the shoe. Then pull the lace through the eyelet you skipped earlier, from the inside out. Do this on the other side as well. If done correctly, the pattern should now start to resemble a diamond shape.

Step 4
Now pull the lace diagonally to the next free eyelet and thread it from the outside in. Repeat this on the other side of the shoe.

Step 5
Thread the lace from the inside out through the eyelet directly below the last laced eyelet on the right side. Do the same on the other side. This reinforces the diamond pattern.

Step 6
Pull the lace diagonally to the next free eyelet from the outside in, and then thread the lace from the inside out through the eyelet directly below. Repeat on the other side of the shoe.

Step 7
Repeat the process again: pull the lace diagonally to the next free eyelet from outside to inside. Do this on the other side as well.

Step 8
Pull the lace from the inside out through the eyelet directly below the last eyelet you laced. Repeat this on both sides. If it looks good, you're almost done!

Step 9
Pull the laces through the last eyelets from the outside to the inside. Then you can fasten the laces with the desired closure, depending on the type of laces you have. For elastic laces you can find the closure instructions on our manuals page .
Finishing for elastic laces
For elastic laces, use a twist cap to secure the ends. More information about the different types of lace closures can be found on our website.
