What You’ll Need
- A pair of high Doctor Martens boots
- A set of laces (preferably flat laces)
Step 1: Start at the Bottom
Start by inserting one end of the lace into the bottom eyelet (the lowest set of holes) on either boot. Make sure the lace ends are equal in length.
Step 2: Crisscross the Laces
Take the left lace and thread it diagonally to the corresponding eyelet on the right side. Repeat this step with the right lace, threading it diagonally to the corresponding eyelet on the left side. This will create a crisscross pattern.
Step 3: Continue the Crisscross
Continue crossing the laces diagonally until you reach the top set of eyelets. Ensure the laces are tight but not overly tight, leaving enough room for comfort.
Step 4: Secure with a Bow
Once you have reached the top set of eyelets, pull the laces tightly to ensure a snug fit. Tie them together with a traditional shoelace bow or any other preferred method. Double knotting the bow can provide even more security.
Tips for a Perfect Lace-Up
- Consider using flat laces for a cleaner and more secure look.
- Adjust the tightness of the laces based on your comfort level.
- Practice tying the laces a few times until you achieve the desired fit.
Now that you’ve mastered the art of lacing up high Doctor Martens, you can confidently rock your boots with style and ease. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to lace up your boots, so feel free to experiment with different lacing techniques to find the one that suits you best. Enjoy your stylish and comfortable Doctor Martens boots!
