How to Lace Boots

Image result for How to Lace Boots

 Lacing your boots is similar to lacing shoes, but the extra room allows for some more options when it comes to style and function. Different lacing methods not only give your boots a unique look, but certain styles can make your feet more comfortable, or provide better support.

Select a boot lace. Most likely you have a pair of boots that go at least as high as your ankles. Make sure that you get boot laces that are long enough for your pair of boots.

    Ask a sales clerk for advice or read the packaging to determine the right boot lace length.
    If you are getting new laces, measure the laces that came with your boots.
    You can determine the length you will need by the amount of hole pairs in your boots. 5 or 6 holes requires 36 inches; 6 or 7 holes requires 40-45 inches; 8 holes requires 54 inches; 9 holes requires 63 inches; 10 or 11 holes requires 72 inches.

Start lacing the boot. The standard way for lacing your boots is to lace up your boot in a criss-cross fashion. Starting at the bottom, string the laces through each of the bottom eyelets. Pull the laces up vertically as far as possible and ensure both tips are even.

    Your laces should now be on the outside of your eyelets.
    For a standard criss-cross lacing method, string your laces through the eyelets, not over the top.






 Cross one end of the lace diagonally over the tongue. Insert the lace into the second eyelet from the bottom. feed the lace through the eyelet and over.

    Once you have strung one lace through the next eyelet, repeat with the other.
    Your laces should now be on the outside of your boot.

 Continue lacing. Make sure to always insert one side before the other to keep the pattern uniform until the top of the boot is reached.

    If you crossed from left to right for the first eyelet, keep this pattern consistent.

    If you want your boots to have a symmetrical look, do the opposite for the other boot. If you starting by crossing left over right on one boot, go right over left on the other.

    Staying consistent not only gives your boots a nice, clean look, but it makes tightening the laces easier.


Lace all the way up to the top. If you want a bit more room and extra length in the laces, you can leave the last pair of eyelets empty. At the top, either tie the laces in a bow, or tie off the ends and tuck in.

Depending on how much extra lace you have, you can also wrap your laces around your boots before tying your knot.

How to Tuck Jeans Into Boots

Whether you’re rocking leather riding boots, insulated snow boots , or bright, shiny rain boots, they’re best shown off by tucking your jeans into them. However, this isn’t always the easiest – or most straightforward – task. If there isn’t much extra room for your jeans to slide into your boots or if your jeans bunch up as you move, don’t worry. With a few tucking tips, tricks, and handy little hacks, you can tuck any style of jean into your favorite pair of boots . Cuff your jeans. If your jeans are long, you’ll need to cuff them. They shouldn’t extend beyond your ankle, and cuffing them will ensure they bunch up above your boot. This technique works particularly well for pants that are loose at the end, such as flare or boot cut styles. Fold excess denim against your leg. Grab your jeans at the bottom, on the inner seam, and hold them the pant leg away from your leg. In other words, you will be stretching the denim out as wide as it will go. Then, carefully fold that

Sorel Boots

Sorel Boots are probably the most popular type of winter boot . And this is not by accident. Sorel’s are legendary for their durability. It is common for a pair of Sorel Caribou Boots to last for 10 years or more, despite heavy daily use. And many of their styles can have their life further extended by putting in new boot liners. Moreover, Sorel boots are exceptionally warm. The temperature ratings on Sorel's range from 0 degrees down to a rather frigid -100 degrees. Because of the extreme warmth that Sorel’s provide, they are very popular among people who work outdoors during the winter months. There are several styles of Sorel Boots available, with the rubber bottom style of boot being by far the most popular (and useful in my opinion).
