Criss Cross or Straight .... No not chips, laces ....

4 Replies

... As the title indicates are you a crisis crossers lacer upper or a straight lace upper? And does it really make any difference?? (I lace straight as I find my trainers to be too tight when criss crossed as they tend to hurt the tops of my feet)

There are quite a few different lace variations and you do the one which suits you. I now have slacker laces than I used to

I get tendonitis on the tops of my feet if my shoes are too tight so I miss out the holes over the trouble-spot - the 'high instep' technique on this page:

Rolyat_Adnama that's a really helpful link... I've just purchased shoes to help me run better So now I can lace them proper .... At least I wont be able to blame my trainers for a bad run lol x
