3. Tips to help you tie your shoelaces more beautifully and securely

To have a pair of beautiful and sturdy lace-up shoes, keep in mind the following tips:

• Measure both ends of the shoelaces to be equal before starting to tie: This helps the shoelaces to be balanced, easier to manipulate and create a higher aesthetic effect.
• Check and readjust from the first knot if the lace is loose or reversed: This helps ensure the shoelace is tied correctly from the start, avoiding having to untie and re-tie it multiple times.
• Avoid tying too tight : Tying shoelaces too tight can make you uncomfortable, stuffy, and affect blood circulation. Adjust the tightness to create a comfortable wearing experience.
• Use support tools (if available) : Currently on the market there are shoe lacing support tools for sale, helping you to operate more easily and quickly.
• Choose the right type of laces : As mentioned above, flat shoelaces are the best choice for horizontal lacing.
