Classic Criss-Cross

Let’s kick things off with the classic criss-cross. This is the tried-and-true method that never goes out of style. It’s simple, effective, and works with any boot.

Start by threading the lace through the bottom eyelets from the inside out.
Cross the laces over each other and thread them through the next set of eyelets from the outside in.
Repeat this all the way up the boot.

The classic cross lace gives you a snug fit and is super easy to adjust. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a traditional yet stylish look.

Straight Bar Lacing

Next up, we have straight bar lacing. This one’s all about that clean, polished vibe. If you want your Docs to look sleek and put-together, give this a try.

Start by threading the lace through the bottom eyelets from the inside out, keeping the lace ends even.
Take one lace end and thread it straight up to the next eyelet on the same side, then straight across to the opposite eyelet.
Repeat with the other lace end, threading it straight up to the next eyelet on its side, then across to the opposite eyelet.
Continue this pattern all the way up the boot.

Straight vertical lace, as well as horizontal bar, eliminates the diagonal crossover, giving your boots a streamlined, minimalist look.

Ladder Lacing

Ladder lacing is where things get interesting. This method is unique and sturdy, perfect for those who want a secure fit and a bit of flair.

Thread the lace through the bottom eyelets from the inside out.
Pull the laces straight up through the next set of eyelets on the same side.
Cross the laces over each other and thread them under the vertical lace on the opposite side, then up through the next eyelet.
Repeat this all the way up the boot.

Ladder lacing creates a cool, ladder-like effect that’s both functional and visually striking.

Start with two laces of different colors.
