Since seeing this guide, I have altered all the laces in all my shoes to this 'look'. I get lots of comments about the neatness of them, but mostly I'm asked how to do it. I tell everyone that asks that I got it from you on here. Thanx for a great guide. X

Totally love this lace pattern! We even invented some new elastic shoelaces that make this pattern super simple with no bows or tying :) Check out the Bar Pattern video here: http://synchbands.com/howtosynch/
