How To Tie Mens Shoelaces - Boots, Loafers, Dress Shoes, Sneakers, Suede, Waxed, Round, Cotton

About this video

Weston teaches the correct techniques for tying shoelaces across different shoe types, arguing that proper lace tying is essential to maintaining a sharp appearance. She demonstrates specific knot methods for cotton/nylon laces, round waxed laces, suede laces, and boots, emphasizing that sloppy shoelaces detract from an otherwise well-constructed outfit.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that the standard over-and-through shoelace knot is weak and causes laces to lay vertically; she recommends instead tying laces under and over toward your body for a stronger knot that lays horizontally across the shoe
• For dress shoes with round laces, Weston recommends tucking the lace loops inside the outer lace stay to maintain a clean, formal appearance
• Weston recommends using superglue on suede laces to prevent them from coming untied, and suggests cutting excess lace length so the bows match your shoe width
• Weston teaches two boot-lacing methods depending on your pants: a double knot for uncuffed pants, or a cross-laced technique for cuffed pants that keeps the bow small and clean
