I am trying a pair of Specialized Recon Lace-up Gravel Shoes, and they came with the laces lacing “in”, meaning they were laced with the tip of the lace going into the hole from the outside, like so:
I typically lace shoes the other way (lace coming up from the inside), so for all you lace-up shoe wearers, is there one preferred way to go? I feel like it might hold better this way, but also take more time to adjust because of pressure on the lace, and I’m not used to it, so maybe I will try this way, or maybe I will relace the shoes.
Thanks - and if you think this is a ridiculous question - I’m right there with you!
I wondered if it might make it easier to tuck them into the strap on the tongue if they lace this way. I will probably try it this way initially, and then maybe swap to how I’m used to if I don’t like it.
I always lace shoes coming up from the inside, but any time I’ve had someone at a shoe store lace shoes for me when trying them on, they always lace them outside-in. Maybe they know something I don’t.
