Laces (Ian's Book) - Now Available!
|
The book comes with color-coded laces that match the lacing diagrams, and has an "interactive" front cover that you
can use as a practice shoe! |
I'm proud to announce that "Laces", the book based on this web site, is now available. Like the web site, this book
is the world's most comprehensive reference about shoelaces. Unlike the web site, the book is far more fashionable,
filled with trendy looking shoes laced in amazing patterns.
The book also contains lots of new material that isn't yet on the site (a dozen or so additional lacing methods!)
It's perfect for sneaker enthusiasts, knot enthusiasts, parents, teachers (especially pre-school), kids, teenagers,
adults, in fact, anyone who uses shoelaces!
At an amazingly low RRP of just $14.95 (USD), it also makes an affordable, novel gift. And don't let the
modest price fool you; this is still a big, sturdy, high quality book! |

Book Preview
|
Here's a view of the book's triple-fold cover opened out completely. This design allows the front cover, which
comes complete with eyelets, flaps and color-coded laces, to be folded out alongside the lacing diagrams so that
you can try out the lacing methods!
|
Here's a sample spread of one of the lacing methods, "Army Lacing", as it appeared in an early proof print. You can
even see one of my corrections at the top of the right page.
|
Another sample spread, this time of "Train Track Lacing", which makes its debut in the finished book. Note how the
color schemes complement the featured sneakers.
|
When you find a lacing method you'd like to try, the book's cover can be folded over the left page so that you can
use the color-coded laces to follow the diagram and instructions on the right page. No more awkward bending down
and fiddling with your shoes!

Here's me proudly holding one of the first copies of "Laces" at the Australian launch in October 2007.
It's a pity that this photo doesn't extend low enough to show my feet - I livened up this tuxedo by sporting a pair
of Converse double upper sneakers, laced with Aussie green and gold shoelaces, with each foot sporting a different
(and as yet unpublished) lacing pattern!
