Bow Tie Lacing (Lug version)
A lug version of Bow Tie Lacing. So named because the outline resembles the shape of a bow-tie, this method makes the most efficient use of lace and thus is useful for "lengthening" short lace ends.
	Lacing Technique: 1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs. 2. At any point in the lacing, feed the ends straight up through two sets of lugs instead of one, thus introducing a "gap" instead of a crossover. Features: Comfort "zones" Loose fit Comparative Length = 75% Laced area uses less (about −25%) Shorter laces needed (about −10%) Lengthens lace ends (about +18%) More details
NOTE: Instead of placing gaps at even intervals (as in the diagram at left), their positions could also be strategically chosen to coincide with tight areas of your shoes, thus giving those parts of your feet more "breathing room".

For more information and photos, see the eyelet version of Bow Tie Lacing.
