making sure they are even in length before you start tying...

Cross Laces

by feeding the left lace under the right lace using right thumb and index finger

Pull Tight

and while doing prepare each index finger and thumb to make a loop with the remaining loose ends of the laces

Like This.

this is the trickiest part of this technique and perhaps what makes it so effective. the key is to manage both laces at the same time which takes a little bit of practice

Next Cross Those Loops Left Over Right

making sure they stay together

Fold the Left Loop Under, Around, & Under Again.

basically you want to make a double-knot, so the loops have to be crossed twice and then..

Pull As Tight As You Like.
