Spider Web Lacing
Another decorative lacing method used on military boots, which is like Ladder Lacing running at an angle, creating a woven web of shoelace. You can also see a much more detailed description of this technique on Bootdog's Spiderweb Lacing page.
This pic of Spider Web Lacing on some military boots came from Big Booted Dog. More Lacing Photos	Lacing Technique: 1. The lace runs straight across and emerges from the second set of eyelets from the bottom (grey section). 2. Both ends run straight down and are fed into the bottom eyelets. 3. Both ends are crossed over underneath and emerge from the third set of eyelets up the boot. 4. The ends next run straight down and are fed under the vertical lace sections at the next lower set of eyelets. 5. The ends are crossed over underneath and emerge from the next higher set of eyelets up the boot. 6. Repeat steps (4) and (5) until both ends emerge at the top eyelets. FEATURES: Decorative Shortens more Firm & tight Harder to tighten NOTE: Whilst this lacing looks interesting on shoes and sneakers, it looks particularly effective on high boots with many eyelets, especially when contrasting laces are used. Boots with a very wide spacing between the sides (such as shown at left) display the maximum area of woven shoelace "spider web".
