I only have black laces but I wanna get purple and yellow laces ASAP!! Thanks for the help though!! Small update for everyone replying to this comment; I got the purple laces!! Yellow to come later, but at least I have purple! 😁🏳️🌈
I'm so pleased to find this video. I'm a 70s baby, so lived the mid 80s and 90s scene. I've always laced my spawn's Docs. (Mother of the Year award for me!) Now he can lace his own while I balm up my Oxbloods. 😂
I ended up lacing my boots with some shoelaces I found laying by the road, washed and coloured with eyeshadow and hairspray as I didnt have yellow or purple pens. looks janky and patchy as fuck which honestly makes me love it all the more
FYI-colour coding isn't a thing these days. These days SHARP and PUNK alike can wear any color laces they choose. It's whatever you are in the mood for. The colour coding is a thing of the past. Just wear whatever you like. In PUNK anything goes and it doesn't have to have a meaning. It could just be your favourite colour
for real, i just got a pair today and even though it's still hard to make super tight since they're new, it's so much tighter AND way more comfortable than lacing them regularly.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve loved this boot style and the punk scene and now that I’m getting more boots I’m gonna lace them all like this and with yellow laces too. They look great on you especially with the tall boots!
I grew up in England wearing DM's to school, and later wore them as a punk in the 80's. The only thing I would say is that with your first move, we would never lace 'bottom to top' on the SAME side of the boot, it was ALWAYS bottom to top on the OPPOSITE side of the boot - diagonally. Seems silly now, but the colour of your laces and how you laced your boots was a big thing back in the day.
SHARP all the way brother. I am 50 and have been a skinhead since I was 15... even if the hairstyle hasn;t always reflected it. Be well. PS: My laces are pink. It confuses the hell out of people.
@@ToyaYTortas The colour coding varies between US and UK/Australia (where I am) so don't get too worried about it. Wear whatever you like. Besides, they are only laces, mix them up and enjoy.
I bought online 14 eye Docs and sold them immediately, a just didn't know how to get them on for less than 15 minutes. Now i got regular 10 holes boots and they are amazing.
Great instructional video. Thank you for sharing. You explained everything clearly and concisely. I had my 14 holes laced in no time flat the first time around.
I've seriously been wearing docs for 17 years now and never figured out how to do this, the people that did lace them like them would never say how they did it
good vid mate. got a new pair of docs, the combs, yeah made in nam..but nice. I figured i would try the ladder lace, got it down, but dont think its practical for daily in hurry , wore em to work, friend said hey REMY! haha. I went back to a variation of the ole criss/cross, it works for me, and is quick.
Go into the US Army Special Forces and that’s the only way you lace your combat boots. I thought it was interesting that red laces are the neo-Nazi color, the original neo-Nazis wore white laces kept extra white. Good tutorial on how to tie Ladder laces, they will keep your chances of breaking your ankle or foot bones if tied tight, especially when doing combat parachute jumps or unloading from a hot helicopter hover insertion. Great for rough terrain as well.
Hey if you put the first lace through the other side you dont have to double side the last one. It will naturally end up perfectly. I already know how to lace my docs but i watched your whole video because you deserve the view. Also i wear white laces on my docs because where i grew up we disnt let the nazis dictate the lace colors. The white on black look comes from early skinhead days (before the nationalists stole the look). It traditionally represented 2tone and unity.
For a person who enjoys boots in "I can't feel my legs tight", this is perfect. A dumb question though - I can't for the life of me loosen them enough when I take them off to slip into them later on. Do you lace them everytime you put them on?
I just had this problem too lol. Managed to get them laced up and looking nice, but there wasn't enough lace left over to get them loose enough to fit on. Total bummer, will probably just have to try and find longer laces.
OMG I actually clapped in excitement when I got this right!!! Thanks so much man, I really appreciate this! I’m glad I can wear my docs the right way now!
i tie my boots like they're showed at the start when hes wearing them the full 2 sides covering the middle, but when i do that with my boots it hurts my feet alot.. i am size 11 doc marten and it has 14 eyelets.
Quite enjoyed your vid, and being 64 now and an original Skinhead we cross over the first lace from inside bottom to outside top. Also was a tad annoyed at the lacism you came out with at the end. As an 'original' I always bought a new pair of laces with a new pair of Doc, slinging the yellow ones for brown (didn't have red back then), with today's boots starting off with a redder colour I've bought red laces. In no way am I a racist, so if I'm going to be judged by the colour of my laces, well judge away. But if in front of me don't vocalise it.
tie a knot on the end of the shoelace and then start by putting the lace so that the kno is in the eye on the inside of the foot and just go in the other eye then up into the eye above and countinue like that and ther is a neater and simpler way to lace em and the boot sits firm on your foot... and there you have it the real way to do it ! have a great one
Excuse me but about the vernacular when it comes to DOC laces I think you may be wrong. Red laces doesn't necessarily mean NAZI it infact whether S.H.A.R.P. or (other) means you have spilled blood. BLUE laces are universally none as S.H.A.R.P. colors.
I know I have been doing it wrong for the last 30 years; I invented my own method and stuck with it, even though it took me longer to put on my boots than with the normie cross-lacing. That's probably why I have shifted to Chelsea boots these days.
If you dont want to have something affiliated with you wear black but the three main colours people know are Red anarchist White white supremacist And yellow anti fascist
Eldar Ranger in the US red means Nazi but I’m not sure if that is still the same as today cause I see Jake from The Casualties wear red laces. White I’m not sure about. But red used to be the sign of a racist now I’m not to sure
Hey, i know this vid is 4 yrs old, but how old were ur 14 eye boots when u made this vid? Also did u condition them? They look really good and sound kinda broken in.

I take the laces out until there's only six going over top each time
Use longer laces 380 or 400 cm, just means you have to wrap around the top of ya Docs.
Thank you sooo much! Was easy to learn and had my Docs lookin good!
Thanks for the help. I got myself a black and a red! ✊🏴🚩
Was taught this method years ago but I always went to the opposite hole first, your method fits better.
Just wear the laces you like to whoever is reading this. Also to help save money you can buy paracord, stronger and cheaper than typical laces.
i love this man
