How to tie your shoes using the straight bar lacing style – a step-by-step guide.

1. Start with your shoelaces straight along the outside of the shoe and thread the lace through the bottom eyelets.

2. Run your left shoelace tip along the inside of the shoe, thread through the next eyelet, and then across on the outside to the adjacent eyelet on the right and thread back into your shoe.

3. Repeat this process with the right shoelace. 

4. Continue with this process by alternating the laces up the inside and across the outside until complete.

5. For a clean sleek finish tie your shoes without the laces showing by tying a small knot inside the shoe behind the tongue or use the Kicks No-Tie Shoelace System or one of Kicks Shoelace Tips.

Troubleshooting common lacing problems.

• If you're having trouble with your laces coming undone, try using a lace locking technique.
• You can try using a "ladder" technique if you have wide feet.
• If you're going for a run, you may want to use a criss-cross lacing method. This will help keep your feet secure and prevent your shoes from undoing.
• If your laces are too loose and you can't seem to get them tight enough, try using an alternate lacing method such as zig-zag lacing.
• Finally, if you find that your laces are constantly coming undone, try using Lace Anchors. Lace Anchors are small devices that thread onto the end of your laces and then hook into the eyelet to keep the laces in place. They're easy to use and can be a great way to prevent lace slippage.

With a bit of practice, you'll be able to quickly and easily lace your shoes using the straight bar technique. And, you'll enjoy all of the benefits this versatile lacing method offers.
