Bet you haven't seen this way of lacing your shoes ? The " Diamond " method.
You can use this with any type of lace and it will be a super nice eye-catcher.
Before we start with this way of stringing, it should be said that you have to take it easy to do it right. Why do you have to take it easy? Very simple... it is quite easy to make a mistake with this stringing technique. To make everything go according to plan, we have made a very nice step-by-step plan that is quite extensive and to make it even clearer, we have used certain pictograms, so that you can keep the necessary overview.
Let's take a quick look at how to lace up the shoelaces to get the "Diamond" into the shoes correctly.
Step 1
Place the shoe in front of you with the toe facing you and pull the lace from the inside out so that the lace buckle is on the inside in the middle.
Then pull the left lace diagonally across and pass it through the eyelet, pull it back immediately above the hole as shown below.
Step 2
The spot where you see the orange circle is where you last pulled the eyelet back. You pull this lace diagonally opposite into the bottom eyelet and pull it back in the same way directly above the eyelet.
Step 3
Repeat this process and you will see that the laces will be neatly slanted to one side like the pattern in the picture below.
Step 4
From now on it gets a lot tougher and I want to ask you to keep your full concentration and focus. You no longer need the left side of the lace, you used that for the right side of the shoe. Now you continue the steps with the right side of the lace and you will notice that you have to take exactly the same steps as you had to do in the first 3 steps. Take the right side of the lace and bring it to the other side just like in step 1 and pull the lace through the eyelet where another lace is already in. Then pull the lace back immediately above the eyelet.
Step 5
Bring the lace diagonally opposite into the bottom eyelet that does not yet have a lace in it. Pull the lace back above the eyelet immediately, just as you did in step 2, only now with another lace in the way.
Step 6
Bring the lace diagonally opposite into the bottom eyelet that does not yet have a lace in it. Pull the lace back above the eyelet immediately, just as you did in step 2, only now with a lace that is in the way again.
Step 7
Pull the lace from the inside out and insert it diagonally opposite from the bottom.
Step 8
Pull the lace from the inside to the outside. Now only one eyelet remains open.
Step 9
Finally, you guessed it... thread the lace through the last eyelet and you're ready to shine! *does a little dance and sings "Shine bright like a diamond"*
