Via Fantastic Man:
Lacing one’s shoe is not confined to the realm of the criss-cross. In fact, a variety of lacing methods exist to cater to a variety of different footwear types – take the ladder lace, for instance, which is worn by military paratroopers. Starting at the base, the ends are run on the outside of the shoe into the next eyelet. The ends are crossed as normal, but then fed under the vertical lace before being fed into the eyelet directly above. (A full explanation and diagram may be found here.) The method is intended for taller boots, such as the pair seen above, as it makes tightening the lower sections easier. How intriguing! They are worn with trousers by BOTTEGA VENETA.

As an Italian house with a fifty year heritage in opulent leathergoods, Bottega proves their expertise yet again with this chic, masculine style – with burnished chocolate brown leather folding softly over the instep and crossing over with a discreet buckle. (more…)
