How to lace hiking boots
Lacing Techniques for hiking boots
Most of us learn shoe-lacing in school and don’t think about our technique much more after that. If your hiking boots start to feel less comfortable than average, you should learn a few different lacing techniques and tricks, to make the next hike more enjoyable.
In this guide, we cover eight ways to re-lace your boots to help relieve stress in your feet.
SHOES FEEL TOO TIGHT
Effect: This technic will evenly distribute the laces and add comfort.
WIDE FEET IN GENERAL
Effect: Gives the foot more space, resulting in a more comfortable fit.
TOE PAIN OR BLACK TOE NAILS
Effect: The toe cap will be lifted slightly, allowing the toes to get more space.
NARROW FOOT
Effect: This lacing technique will tighten the shoe more than the usual techniques.
HIGH MIDFOOT
Effect: If you have a larger midfoot this will minimize the pressure.
WIDE FOREFOOT
Effect: More space for your forefoot and slightly more space in the toe box.
HIGH ARCHES
Effect: The middle section will feel less tight and you’ll add comfort to this part of the shoes.
HEEL SLIPPING
Effect: You will get more support in the ankle, but I will not feel too tight.
That’s very good solution for fitting the hiking boots in my feet.
