- While the heel lock lacing method of tying shoes might be familiar to longtime runners, I'd say a majority of people have no idea what it is, let alone how to go about tying a heel lock (lace lock).
This video will show you step-by-step, exactly how I heel lock lace my boots so that you can get all the benefits of this trusty, underrated boot and shoe lacing method.
While this demonstration features a pair of boots (Thorogood USA) with speed hooks, the heel lock lacing technique can be achieved without them too.
Let's get started.

WHAT IS HEEL LOCK LACING?
Heel lock lacing is a shoe tying method that (as its name suggests) locks the heel into place to help prevent heel slippage so that your toes don't get jammed into the front of your boot or shoe.
It’s the best shoe lacing method I know of to aid in preventing nasty blisters and dreaded purple or black toenails. Furthermore it's an ideal lacing method for activities like running or hiking.
WHY USE HEEL LOCK LACING?
Runners already know the benefits of heel lock lacing. A heel lock lace is super simple to achieve and the benefits are tremendous.
The 3 primary benefits:
1. Helps prevent your heel from slipping by locking your heel and foot into place
2. Creates a super tight and securely finished knot
3. Provides extra rear foot stability and room for your toes
HOW TO HEEL LOCK LACE YOUR HIKING BOOTS (OR RUNNING SHOES)
STEP 1:
First you crossover lace as normal until you reach the final 2 speed hooks on each side. Start by fastening the lace to both speed hooks on whichever side you like, then cross the lace over to the other side.

Who else uses this boot lacing method? 🥾 I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Any special lacing to Thursday boots?
@@gisaac7941 you can use this method to lace thursdays too
I use this method on my Asolo 6" hiking boots and on my Thorogood 8" 1957 series work boots. It literally changed my life when it comes to backpacking 10-20 miles/day. It's not as big a deal at work because I don't walk for hours on end, though, I still use it. Edit: I actually use a slightly more advanced method on my hiking boots that involves a surgeons knot before you skip up the sides. It holds everything in the prior eyelets more securely.
@@joshb8660sweeet
I’ve been a structural ironworker for 23 years doing lots of connecting. This is how I’ve always done my laces with one addition, after wrapping the lace around my calf I tie a square knot and tuck the ends. The whole point is to minimize anything that could get caught up. Same reason we wear boots with no heels.
Might as well go for a boa boot
My speedhook pattern is different, but using the excess length behind and around the heel is what added extra security and comfort for me
Wow thank you so much this is the video I didn’t realise I need. A couple years ago I badly dislocated my ankle and accidentally popped it in failing to use crutches and naturally trying not to fall and since then I’ve worn boots and taken it easy.
This helped my ankle stick a bit straighter and now I’m able to run in my boots without as much of a worry and so far it’s holding up. Thank you for showing this it really did help.
Never have seen boots laced & tied like this before, but will be trying it out. Thanks!
Happy to help!
This is how I’ve been tying my Thorogoods as well. Have tried different lacing, and this one is actually my favorite
Great fast video, Always wondered how people do this, thanks. I’m certainly using this method for my boots!
my man, back on that first grind!
Man i tried several methods, and this is the Best so far
thanks! it comes in handy for sure
Great video
Thank you so much
Thanks! Just bought me a pair of these boots.
nice! how are you liking them?
Good info, thanks.
you got it bro
This looks so incredibly silly. Only when I went hiking up and (especially) down mountains, would I sometimes do something similar (in concept, not in terms of looking ridiculous) . But I wouldn't wrap the laces around the calf, I just used the high locking eyelets on the hiking boots to snug them tight to my calf and heel.
I thought of this weeks ago and wondered if anyone else does this just wanted more ankle support
Should do another year review on the thorogoods :) I’m on 9 months with mine and couldn’t be happier ..... maybe i could with a few more pairs Hahaha
Nice, they're hardwearing for sure. No plans for another review...maybe next year tho!
Is this something that could help me break in my first pair of Redwings? They are brutal on my heels.
I use a similar method to lace my high heel basket ball shoes when I am playing only
Have you seen on running shoes 2 holes on both upper side very near to each other no onesies the last ones but it is there to use it like you have done
Yeah, I've seen it done on sneakers as well. used to wonder what those extra eyelets were for!
I like it
thanks man
I like to skip a eyelet at my mid foot too. Need it tight for the heel and ankles but since I have a "high volume" foot right lacing there ends up hurting.
thanks for the tip!
Great video! what model shoe is that btw?
thanks man, it's the thorogood 6" moc toe
wow!
lulz
I used duck tape and leave a little pull tab on the tape for easy removal 🤪
Seriously, Thanks for sharing 👊
haha, how's that working out for ya?
Dam. Considering how the loop in the back got ripped off, I cant do this...
Eh. I'll probably figure out a way to Macgyver that.
lol
Hi can you tell me the make and brand of these boots please? I live in the UK so they aren't familiar to me. Thanks 👍
They are Thorogood 6 inch moc toe boots. I’m not entirely sure on the exact color, but they look like the tobacco color way. Great boots by the way and definitely worth buying.
@@sean7793 awesome thanks again for that
yes sean is right, it's the Thorogood 6" moc toe in the tobacco colorway!
@@gentwithin Thanks so much!
@gentwithin Hey, good video. Bought 2 pairs of the 8" version from this vid & gotta say Thorogoods are nearly my favorite boots. Somehow found 4E but they fit me well w/ nice thick socks.
Does it really make a difference for your comfort? (edit: that's curiosity, not skepticism lol)
yes, it locks your heel into place providing rear foot stability and helps prevent your toes getting crushed to the front of the toe box. it's particularly helpful for a long hike for example.
@@gentwithin how would you do this with a boot that doesn't have hooks/speed laces?
@@miguela.8278 would be difficult to do unfortunately. I'm not sure how
I'm actually shocked more ironworkers aren't in the comments to gatekeep this.
Shouldve seen this vid before i bought them my back heel is choked
I'm sorry if you do this then why didn't you just get a taller boot
I think that your lacing method is similar to the running shoe runner's knot.
yes, your'e correct
Tying the lace around your ankle can act like a tourniquet and cut off circulation to your foot causing numbness and dead tissue Those who regularly suffer from edema or ankle injuries shouldn’t do it at all as it will worsen the circulation issue even more
unless you've got the incredible hulk strength while tying your shoes...i think they'll be fine.
Dang, how tight are you wrenching these laces??
Why do these expensive ass boots have so much heel slip 😑
The laces around the ankle give 0 support. It's purely for looks lol
yep, the heel lock lace is for support, not the laces around the ankle. i do that for style.
@@gentwithin I do too!
The laces around the boot seem to provide more heel lock for me.
Those boots never did a day of manual labor.
lol another one
@@gentwithin You should seen mine after a week of working in them.
@@hellbound0086 cool. keep putting in that work ⚒
