BRO YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I just got a pair of Stan Smith Adidas shoes and I usually get size 12.5 to 13, they had 13 only in stock during the sale so I grabbed those. There is about 1/2 inch gap between my toe and the front of the shoe which is perfect for me. I found that the heel was slightly going up and down as I walked (very slight, but enough to annoy) tried this runners lacing.. AMAZING. Now there is almost zero movement of the heel. Thank you so much for this tip, was about to send them back and wait for a size down but this saved me.
I find this lacing does help "lockdown" or to secure your heel but I also then have issues with the laces cutting into my foot. This is especially true due to lightweight tongues on shoes now. I am having issues with most new design shoes because of this. The goal to have ultra light uppers hinders how a heel like mine gets cupped or locked down as material around the collar of shoes is now typically minimal. Also affected is how tightly I can lace anything due to very thin tongues.
I'm so mad that I only learned this today. I have slender feet, so I have always had problems with the heels. This is a killer for any job where you're on your feet because locking your heel in helps prevent the agitation that leads to blisters.
nope. not on my high-arc, high instep feet. if I do this i will end up with numb feet due to lack of blood circulation. one of the downsides of having high volumed feet. 😥
@@trailandkaleyup. Tried it and still numbs my feet. I guess when i toe off the veins of my top ankle will hit those laces, tight or not. So how I end up lacing mine is just your ordinary way with thenlaces a little bit loose. Surprisngly, no shoe slips at all. 😅

That’s awesome - glad it worked out! It’s a shame some shoes need this but I’m glad it works when needed!

Yes, this is something I have noticed among many shoes too. Also some tongues are too short to accommodate racers loop.

Exactly! I’m so glad this worked out for you. :)

That’s annoying! Have you tried not doing them quite so tight at the top of the shoe?
