Did you know that your lacing technique could affect your performance negatively?

If you lace it too tight or too loose, it could be the reason for unnecessary stops in the middle of your run, hike, or work. Not to mention the discomfort from pain, numbness, and blisters that you’ll continue to experience if you lace your shoes incorrectly.

If you don’t want anything to hinder you, here are some of the different lacing techniques that could make an incredible difference:

Narrow Feet Lacing

While a runner's foot will fit in a running shoe if they have wide feet, their forefoot and/or heel will feel sleeker. Both parties may deal with this problem, although women tend to deal with it more frequently than men do.

Use this lacing method if you have skinny feet that seemed a little too big for your size.

SPORTY LACING METHOD

Narrow heel + wide forefoot

Once you start playing with different lacing configurations, you can find your own unique lacing that suits you the best. This pattern is extremely simple with comfort, style, and functionality all in one.

Flat Feet Lacing

Not only does this pattern provide comfort for your wide feet, you will still have the support you need to do your walking, jogging, and running. This pattern not only accommodates your large feet, but it also gives you the support you need to go walking, jogging, and running.

Swollen Feet Lacing

This is the best way to lace your shoes if you are a frequent runner and always catch annoying blisters and swollen feet.

Give this a try if you have exceptionally broad feet and experience cramping frequently or feel as though your shoes don't have enough room.

Because people’s feet swell at different rates, your lacing technique should also adjust to your foot type and activity.

Running for a few miles and running a marathon might require a different lacing method. People with high arches and people with narrow feet might need to tie their shoes differently as well.
