Checkerboard Lacing, By Amos Lee.

Do you know what is checkerboard lacing? =)

Dunno? Nevermind... let me try to explain a bit more ya... =)

Lacing Technique:

1. Start with two pairs of different color laces, preferably the wide, flat variety.

2. With one color (orange in my diagram), lace the shoe using Straight (Easy) Lacing.

3. With the other color (purple in my diagram), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top.

4. Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom.

5. Continue across the shoe until you're out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first.

6. Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.

OR... instead, you can contact Mr Amos at @melonlicious on Twitter. He'll do it for you at a little charge. =)

See.... the completed checkerboard lacing!!!

Try it yourself... or pay someone to do it for you!!!
