As a first year AC this was probably the mist helpful video ever. Parade boot lacing was always and issue for my brother, but I'm happy to have found this video

[@TownleyVM]

Pen_On Paper_Inkspill that's awesome. I'm glad it was helpful to you. Best of luck.

[@dippy_dot_mann6922]

It sure was! Thank you, Sir.

[@GainZhu]

Thank you so much! im a AC and this helped me out so much today at CO's parade!

[@TownleyVM]

Glad it helped!

Not in the Army but a great fan of combat gear. Recently bought a pair of combat boots and this video was of great help.

[@giodrakes]

Thank you Sir :D I am not in the cadets, but I love straight lacing my boots. I just got a new pair, and thought to look it up to see. I like your method way better than the method I had been using for the past 20 years! Thank you again for sharing.

[@Ian.toyuki]

Thank you Sir, I’m a level one in 151 Chadburn Squadron, and this helped a lot, I had no idea how to lace up my boots (I honestly forgot) and this helped a lot!

[@anishamalaraj2645]

Thanks sir! I'm in Air Cadets and I graduated from my Recruit course. I got my uniform but didn't know how to tie my boot like this and you helped! Again thank you! :)

[@armyofmc3931]

Sir, thank you from the 338 Junior Wildcats Squadron. This video helped a lot. Tomorrow I’m going to my squadron’s drill team.

[@brandonlowe2962]

Thank you dearly sir I am a beginner sea cadet and just got promoted and I had no clue on how to do this thank you for showing me

[@Noob_NationYT]

Hi Sir, im a year one cadet AC in 121 Red Arrows and this video really helped me put for my first CO's parade and ACR is coming up so now i know how to strait lace my boots

[@TownleyVM]

[@ethanbickford3091]

[@TownleyVM]

Thank you so much.

[@cloutogelevatedtv9000]

Thank you sir, I had trouble trying to talk with my seniors but when I found this video it helped a lot, now I'm a sergeant!

[@misankroptic]

jordan hebert Oi, thank you for your service!

[@wrcz]

Thank you for this. I'm not in the military but it looks great with Doc Martens. I modified it a bit for a more casual look, I stop when I have 4 holes done straight, then just pull the laces through to the next hole without skipping (criss cross) and tie a normal knot (with a bow). So 5 out of 8 holes are used. Makes it easy to get in/out the shoe quickly, looks clean, stylish.

[@marie-pierreduval8840]

Thank you! This video came in handy to lace up my son's cadet boots for his first Rememberance Day parade.

[@bojanmilankovic]

You're not just helping cadets. I'm in the Army and I still come back to this occasionally.

[@TownleyVM]

So happy to hear this video helps.

[@bojanmilankovic]

@@TownleyVM it sure does. I only wear DEU's once or twice a year and I never seem to be able to remember how to do this.

[@johnsandherr1814]

As a Military Police Officer in the Army - back in the mid 1970's we used WHITE LACES & a Ladder lace when wearing our dress uniform. With Jump Boots I must say we looked pretty dam SHARP. It was a pain at first but once I got the hang of it I was sold. However I wasn't to cool with the green ascot we had to wear but i got use to that to.

[@OcToBeR]

Thank you sir, I am a civilian and now i look like a cadet!

[@dsyvchan]

[@shikokumendes121]

I’m a recruit at 2316 The Royal Westminster Regiment. I’ve just received my C1 and Parade boots. Just checking to make sure because I am unsure, we thread the laces in from the inside right? I do not know how to wear my uniforms yet. Thank you.

[@CamTurtles]

Thanks! It really helped!

[@theresadecius7474]

Saved my life my final parade is today

[@uk82punkz]

[@kahlascritch2953]

[@rabidcentrist]

I've been straight lacing boots and dress shoes since I learned from this ex-airborne (they were disbanded) guy i met when i was working at a fish processing plant.

[@RoundedBoxes]

Thank you Sir. This helped me with my Dress Uniform Boots. Join 3005 11 Service Battalion Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps. Ages 12-19

[@fartmechanic8903]

[@PANCINGKARAT]

[@thobiasvernede7058]

Are they easy to loosen? Cuz if i have pe i need to get in and out of them quick to change clothes and shoes

[@robbiehann7536]

Thank you sir!

[@navr8307]

Thanks Sir from the RCN

[@TownleyVM]

You are very welcome.

[@misankroptic]

Alright, so I wear 12 eyelet, bone-dry leather boots.
Would I have to replace them every time I put them on with this method?
Also, I use paracord instead of laces. Does that affect the lacing procedure at all?

[@loganheinitz5608]

Thank you so much

THANKS!

[@MrPoops238]

Thanks a lot!

[@DanielJLopes]

Sounds like I can use this technique in my motorcycle boots, as I am afraid of loose laces going arround and about while riding.

[@ripsnorter1015]

Very good

[@barbpike6968]

makes it look so easy

[@goproTraveling]

Thank you sir, I'm a RCT in navy cadets

[@TownleyVM]

[@simjoonhsien6577]

Please help me. My boots only got 6 eye. Please help.

[@soheilnikzadeh6359]

thanks

[@MyRoyalheart]

Thanks

[@bomber3933]

Nice one !
I hadn't thought, the "Balkenschnürung" (as it's called in Germany) is used by soldiers.
I've just seen this used by my Skinhead comrades and some Punks.
But i know another way to do this.

[@TheChillimouse]

Basically anyone wearing dr martens does their laces this way. think the knot is weird and useless tho.

[@clunkCA]

Thank you sir. Even though I'm in Air Cadets this still helped. I have one question though. When you are tying the knot are you saying your right or our right?

[@TownleyVM]

You tie your reef knot right over left, left over right. As long as they are done opposite each other, then you will get a reef know.

[@clunkCA]

+Tim Townley thank you sir, my boots are laced and tied. Now I just need to shine them. I've heard from some people say that you should spit on your boots, I've heard from others that it eats away at the leather. Is that true?

[@TownleyVM]

+GamingCats Use clean water when polishing your boots. It will give you the best results over time. A spit polish is only good in a pinch when no water is available which is never really the case. Good luck.

[@sabrinaz9023]

Both work

[@fatimanadaabziz5079]

Thank youuuuuuuu

[@bowroj6392]

Thanks sir I’m nepal police

[@xIToastyy]

Can someone link me a website where I can purchase these?

[@enterbalak]

could this work on a 11 eyehole boot?
