Start with the laces even. Put one end of the shoelace through the bottom eyelet on the right side of the shoe, and the other end through the bottom eyelet on the left side.
Criss-cross the laces. Take the right lace and bring it diagonally up and across the shoe to the opposite eyelet. Thread it through the eyelet from above.
Repeat on the other side. Take the left lace and bring it diagonally up and across the shoe to the opposite eyelet, threading it through from above.
Continue criss-crossing. Keep alternating sides, bringing each lace diagonally up and across the shoe to the opposite eyelet, threading it through from above.
Tie your shoes. Once you reach the top eyelets, tie your laces in a knot.
