Many runners don't realize how much they can customize the fit of their shoes just by changing the way they lace them here are a few different lacing techniques that you can use to deal with various fit problems. If your heel is slipping around in your shoe, try out the runners loop lace, the sheen, normally until the next-to-last pilots on either side draw the laces backwards through the last eyelet to create loops on the outside of the shoe, then cross each lace back across the Tongue and through the opposite leaf the loops help to tighten up the heel color. This keeps your heel in place, as you run. If the shoe feels too tight on the top of the foot, try parallel lacing to secure your foot with minimal pressure on top. First, completely remove the lace from the shoe then lace, the first two eyelets by your big toe, pull the lace from the first eyelet straight across to the tongue, to the parallel eyelet. Once through this eyelet bring the lace up the shoe skipping. One eyelet repeat these steps until the laces reach the top of the tongue. If your big toenail turned black, you can take some pressure off the toe with this lacing trick completely. Remove the lace from the shoe then thread one end of the lace from the eyelet nearest to your big toe diagonally up to the top eyelet leave enough lay, so the shoe can be tied thread, the other end of the lace across to the opposite, eyelet, and Then back and forth towards the top of the shoe, if you have problems with any of your other toes, this can also be done in reverse order to relieve pressure. If you have pain on the top of your foot, you can skip a set of eyelets to relieve pressure on the hot spot, start by unlacing, the shoe to below the spot, where you're feeling the irritation, then, instead of lacing diagonally over the hot spot, bring the Lace directly up the shoe on both sides for as long as it takes to avoid the hot spot, then continue the diagonal lace pattern until you reach the top of the shoe.

Running Warehouse: Glad to hear you found the video helpful. It depends why you are feeling numbness in your toes. If it's because your shoe is fitting too tight in he midfoot, the parallel lacing technique may provide you a bit more room while still holding you comfortably in the shoe. If your toes are too close to the toe box, that can also cause numbness. The bruised toe lacing technique addresses a sore or cramped big toe. It also may be that you need a bigger size shoe to give your toes more room.
Mili Sharma: Wow! It was so simple - will try the one I need on my long runs. Thanks for the video. :D
David Green: Hello. This video has changed my life. For the first time ever I have not had feet pain and numbing. Thank you !
maleka58: Thanks for posting have changed my laces as I seemed to bruise my big toes all the time. Ran for the first time today with the new lace up style and toe did not hurt at all Yay! Cant thank you enough. When I was a child my dad used to lace my shoes up like your tutorial and I aways used to think it strange as no one else seemed to do this! He was a sportsman and perhaps he new what he was doing lol a bit of de ja Vous. I love you and miss you Dad and hope you are watching over me x

BB: On your first lacing type, is there any difference when lace from bottom to the next top eyelid vs from bottom to bottom eyelid? is it tighter or more grip?
Bro. Piitz - Peter Noga: This helped me alot. Thank you so much. My feet feel like they're in a pair of new shoes

EyeAmBatman: Great video!... Always wondered what the extra useless holes at the top of the runner was for :D

Running Warehouse: That variation of the lacing technique might work. You should also look for shoes with a wider or more rounded toebox, to give your pinky toe more room.
ibilintuc: Used the Bruised Toe Lacing method - inversely - for my little toe with amazing results! THANK YOU!
Sheryl Walder: this is a great video. My problem is my toes seem to go numb when I run. Would the parallel lacing be the correct lacing method for that?
Edward Smith: Hi, I run with the On Running's Cloud Shoe. These shoes are great but they use elastic laces, I do have the option to change them to a standard pair of laces however, I want to see if the elastic laces are more beneficial for me and my running. Any tips to lace up these to avoid pain on the top part of the tongue of the the shoe?

Jahman Borneo: Bought a pair of Redwing Iron Ranger boots. I have VERY skinny feet (its a running joke in my marriage) and lacing boots is usually painful to achieve a good fit. A combination of lacing techniques found here, just saved my feet. I wish the US military would teach young troops different lacing methods. Would save a lot of pain and suffering. Thank you
Discrete Loner: I am going to try it. I usually up my shoes another size which makes it more bearable but not actually help that much.

Samantha Ross: My 2nd toe from the big toe on my left foot (which is the smaller foot) has a blacken toenail and I don't understand how to stop it from happening. My right foot doesn't have this issue. But it seems that because my left foot is smaller, perhaps it slides around more?! Im not quite sure, what would you suggest to prevent this? and yes I do always go a size up
