Shoes
Lacing Your Ghillies
Step One. Lace your lace through the toepiece of your ghillies, leaving equal amounts on both sides.
Step Two. Lace one side of your lace through the side tabs, rotating from side to side. Slip the lace through the back loop. If your shoe has side loops, slip it through the side loop.
Step Three. Repeat with the other side of the lace. When you put your shoe on, the crossed laces that are settled in the heel in this graphic should be in front.
After this, bring the two strings forward and cross them in front of your ankle. From this step you have two options:
a) Wrap them around your ankle until you can tie a tidy bow which should then be tucked into the laces, or
b) Wrap them around the arch of your foot snugly (but not tightly), and tie a box at the top of your foot. Tuck the bows into your shoes tidily. This second way is most preferred by dancers, but make sure you do not (can I repeat that? do NOT) tie them too tightly around your arch. It can hurt you - breaking blood vessels and the like. Very nasty business, that. Please use common sense; take care of your feet and don’t worry so much about vanity.
