Shoe fit
Choose what you want to adjust, then follow the diagram one row at a time.
Toe · Tie at the top
Heel slipping
Use the final eyelets to create two loops that draw the collar around the heel without tightening the entire shoe.
Toe · Tie at the top
Wide forefoot
Leave the lower eyelets uncrossed to create more room across the toe box, then secure the midfoot normally.
Toe · Tie at the top
More room overall
Use fewer crossings to reduce pressure along the full length of a high-volume or wider foot.
Toe · Tie at the top
Midfoot pressure
Create an uncrossed window over one pressure point while keeping the shoe secure above and below it.
Toe · Tie at the top
Toe pressure
A long diagonal lace path can reduce downward pressure near the front while the other side secures the shoe.
Toe · Tie at the top
Narrow / low volume
Add a second pass at the middle eyelets to take up gentle volume without overtightening the toe box.
Know the limit
A lace pattern can redistribute pressure or improve hold. It cannot lengthen the shoe, widen the midsole, or change the last. Persistent pain, numbness, damaged nails, or skin breakdown deserves a closer look at the shoe and, when needed, professional care.
