What's The Best Way to Lace Sports Shoes?

The Art of Lacing: Enhancing Performance and Comfort in Sports Shoes

Nov 13, 2023, 11:51 AM5 min read

Many of us take lacing for granted, yet it plays a pivotal role in our athletic performance and comfort. In this article, we'll explore the unique world of lacing for sports shoes, breaking down why it's different from your regular shoe lacing methods. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or someone just stepping into the realm of sports, understanding the art of lacing can make a significant difference in your athletic journey.

Lacing your sports shoes correctly is not just about keeping your shoes on your feet. It's about optimizing fit, providing adequate support, and preventing common foot issues often encountered during intense physical activities. Let's dive in and unravel the secrets behind effective lacing for sports shoes.

Why is Lacing for Sports Shoes Different?

Sports shoes demand a different approach to lacing compared to casual or dress shoes, primarily due to the specific needs of athletes. First and foremost, sports activities typically involve rigorous movements, sudden stops, and quick changes in direction. This requires lacing techniques that ensure a snug fit, preventing the foot from sliding inside the shoe.

Moreover, different sports put varying pressure on feet. Runners, for instance, need lacing that accommodates foot expansion during long runs, while basketball players need laces that lock in the heel for better ankle support. Understanding these nuances helps athletes choose lacing methods that align with their specific sports demands, enhancing both performance and comfort.

How to Lace Your Runners (Step by Step Guide)

Lacing up your runners might seem straightforward, but a few tweaks in your lacing technique can make a world of difference in comfort and support. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just enjoy a casual jog, knowing how to lace your shoes effectively can enhance your running experience. Let's break down some popular lacing techniques step by step, including the runner's loop, criss-cross, window lacing, and heel-locking, to help you find the perfect fit for your feet.

  1. Runner's Loop (Heel Lock): This technique is ideal for preventing heel slippage, providing a snug fit.

    • Start by lacing your shoes in a basic criss-cross pattern up to the second-to-last eyelet.

    • Instead of crossing the laces over to the last eyelet, bring each lace up vertically to the last eyelet on the same side and thread it through. This creates a loop on each side.

    • Cross the laces and thread each end through the loop on the opposite side.

    • Pull the laces tight to secure your heel and tie your shoe as usual.

  2. Criss-Cross Lacing: This is the most common lacing method and offers a good balance of comfort and support.

    • Start at the bottom eyelets. Thread the laces straight across and under the opposite eyelets.

    • Cross the laces over and insert them under the next set of eyelets up. Continue this pattern until you reach the top.

  3. Window Lacing (Pressure Relief): Great for relieving pressure points on the top of your foot.

    • Begin with a standard criss-cross lacing at the bottom.

    • When you reach the part of your foot that feels tight or pressured, instead of crossing the laces, bring them straight up to the next eyelet.

    • Resume criss-cross lacing above this point. This creates a "window" or gap, reducing pressure on sensitive areas.

  4. Heel-Locking Lacing: This method secures the foot in the shoe to prevent sliding, which is especially useful for downhill running.

    • Lace your shoes in a criss-cross pattern but stop one eyelet short of the top.

    • Lace the top eyelets by going straight up on the outside and then crossing over to the opposite eyelet, creating a loop.

    • Thread the end of each lace through the loop on the opposite side.

    • Pull the laces tight to lock your heel in place.

Each of these lacing techniques serves a different purpose, from providing a secure heel fit to relieving pressure on the top of your foot. Experiment with these methods to see which one suits your running style and foot shape the best. Remember, the right lacing can significantly improve your running experience!

Do You Need Special Laces for Runners?

Now, you might be wondering if you need to buy special laces for your runners. The short answer is: it depends. Standard laces that come with your sports shoes are usually fine for most people. However, if you're looking for something specific, like extra durability or a different feel, there are options out there. For example, if you're a trail runner, you might want laces that are more rugged and water-resistant. Or, if you have trouble with laces coming undone, you might prefer elastic no-tie laces. It's all about what works best for you and your feet.

Conclusion

So, there you have it – a little insight into the world of sports shoe lacing! Remember, the right lacing technique can make a big difference in how your shoes fit and feel. Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles to find what works best for you. And when it comes to choosing laces, think about your specific needs and preferences. Happy lacing, and here's to comfortable, well-fitted sports shoes on all your adventures!

RCB in IPL final: Seasons when RCB qualified for IPL finals - sportzpoint.com

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have been one of the most popular franchises in IPL history with millions of followers around the globe. However, despite having many great players of the game playing for them, RCB have failed to win the IPL title till now.

In the 18 seasons of the tournament, they have reached the IPL final thrice so far. They first reached the final in 2009 and then qualified for IPL finals once 2011 and another time in 2016. Unfortunately, they have faced defeat on all three occasions. 

2009 IPL final: Lost vs Deccan Chargers by 6 runs

RCB in IPL final: Seasons when RCB qualified for IPL finals

After beating Chennai Super Kings in the semi-finals of the second season in 2009, RCB qualified for the final. In the final at Johannesburg, RCB bowled first, winning the toss. Their captain, Anil Kumble, was on fire with a spell of 16/4 in 4 overs and restricted Deccan Chargers to 143/6 only. Herschelle Gibbs was the best batter of Deccan with an unbeaten 53 from 48 balls. 

But during the chase, RCB struggled from the beginning and even with a good-looking 32 from Roelof van der Merwe, RCB fell 6 runs short of the total. Pragyan Ojha, with 28/3 in 4 overs, was the pick of the bowlers for Deccan in that final. 

2011 IPL final: Heavy 58-run defeat against CSK

Two seasons later, RCB again reached the IPL final, this time under Daniel Vettori. RCB had finished at the top of the points table after the league stage, and despite losing the qualifier 1 against CSK, they qualified for the final after beating Mumbai Indians in the second eliminator.  

In the final, RCB were asked to bowl first. CSK managed a huge total of 205 in the first inning, with the help of a 95 from Murali Vijay. Chris Gayle was the star with the ball for RCB with 34/2 in four overs. 

During the chase, RCB crumbled, and except for Saurabh Tiwary's fighting unbeaten 42 from 34 balls, no one could get going. Virat Kohli also played a slow 32-ball 35 innings. In the end, RCB lost by 58 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin picked up three wickets, giving away just 16 runs in four overs, for CSK.

Among the three defeats in the final, this one is the most heartbreaking for RCB fans. After finishing second in the league stage, they defeated Gujarat Lions in the qualifier 1 to enter the final. 

In the final, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to put runs on the board. David Warner scored a stunning 69 from 38 balls, and Ben Cutting, with an unbeaten 39 from 15 balls, took SRH to 208 in the first innings. 

Unlike the two previous finals, RCB got off to a flyer during the chase. Chris Gayle smashed 76 from 38 balls while Kohli scored 54 from 35 balls, to finish with a record-breaking 973 run season. 

With 67 needed from 8 overs and 8 wickets in hand, RCB struggled under pressure and eventually lost the game by 8 runs.
