Great vid !!!
👍👍👍👍
At the age of 29, I have finally learned to lace my shoes. Thank you sir for your informative video.
Claire Barnard You're welcome, Claire. I'm glad that you were able to follow the video and successfully straight-lace your shoes.
Claire Barnard I’m 38 and just learned :)
Dang. I’m 11 and I found out how to tie my shoes, but it’s not correctly.. But it works.
@@Ash-ny7nh same 😂
Damn bro that’s fucking pathetic lmao
7 yr old video....
Still helping countless individuals ❤️
Great to know that this old video *is* still helping folks.
Honestly, this is one of the best tutorial videos ever. Simple, clear… I wish everyone’s vids were like this! Thanks Professor! 😁
Thanks for your kind words, Natasha. I'm happy to hear that you found it easy. Enjoy the lacing!
Thank you 😊 it was very helpful.
Your work is an example for "do what you do perfectly " 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's nice to see that you've found a couple of my videos useful. Thank you also for your kind words on the videos themselves.
Very helpful! I used to envy guys with straight bar lacing. Thought it was a secret, lost art or something that i seemed to never decipher. Thanks!
+John Daikpor
You're welcome, John. Now you can be the envy of *other* guys!
Thank you Sir. This knot is truly amazing!! I'm a runner and it feels so comfortable when I run. Thanks again.
You're welcome, I'm pleased that this lacing has made your running more enjoyable.
Loved the demo. This is one of those simple life tasks noone teaches us LOL
Great job very clear and easy to follow
+Dennis Harris
It's deceptive in that it *looks* simple but the underlying path is a little more complex. I'm glad you followed the instructions - enjoy the finished result.
Thank you so much :) finally used laces that have been in my drawer for months haha . Always good to learn something even if little :):)
You're welcome, I'm pleased that the small thing you learned today was about shoelaces.
very clear and effective. Thank you for sharing
You're welcome, Daniel, I'm pleased to hear that my instructions were easy to follow.
I am Korean. I learned how to tie a knot after watching this video Thanks to you, my feet are comfortable Thank you.
Wonderful to hear that this lacing was also more comfortable. Congratulations!
Thanks Prof. Shoelace! Mine is looking so pretty now!
.
Thank you so much for posting this! I bought some Supergas and was able to do my first bar lacing because of your video:)
I used the criss cross configuration you showed on your phone since mine have 5 eyelets. Great video - thanks again.
+c wess
Thanks for the feedback, I'm pleased that it worked for you, in particular the odd-eyelet-pair workaround. Enjoy your bar-laced Supergas.
Ty so much pal absolutely love you for this video done my laces to perfection subscribed 👍
You're welcome! I'm pleased that you had success and now have perfect lacing.
Thank you very much for a step by step video guide on how to straight bar lace.. It makes shoes look so much better!
Yoshi4d You're welcome, I'm pleased you followed the steps easily. Even better that you're pleased with the end result!
Thank you so much! I had no idea how to lace my shoes in this cool-looking way & your video made it so simple! Thank you also for the video. I don't think I could have done it just by listening to instructions. The background lesson behind this lacing style was really cool too. I learned something new today! Thanks again & your accent's **awesome** btw 😃
You're welcome, Alyson, I'm pleased that you were able to learn Straight Bar Lacing from my video. Thanks also for the nice comment about my accent, especially coming so soon after other comments saying I talk too much!
Hey thanks man, helped me out before my date :D
Nothing like looking sharp and well turned out for a date - nice one, Samuel! I'm happy to have helped.
Thank you! I had to pause a few times and redo one, but DONE!
You're welcome, Lara, I'm happy that my video helped you get it done.
This is a game changer for helping with the arthritis I have on the top of my feet! I can't thank you enough!!
You're most welcome, I'm pleased to hear that a change of lacing has helped. Enjoy the lacing!
I can't believe I'm just now deciding to look this up as I washed all my shoe' s and their laces. Couldn't quite get them laced up the same so I decided to RUclips this and wah lah! 👌 Thank you so much for this video and it's so easy to follow compared to some of the other ones I had to skip over. Great stuff thanks ! 😉👍🏼👏
Good job washing your shoelaces - most people never get around to that. Perfect opportunity to change up the style. I'm pleased that my tutorial video worked for you where others failed.
This was really helpful thank you!
night wings You're welcome, I'm happy to have helped.
I never knew I needed a whole website dedicated to shoelaces, but I'm loving it!
I also never knew that there there would be quite so much information about shoelaces until I first started adding it to my website. Glad that the website is helpful to you.
Fab! I can't believe I didn't think to do this sooner! My trainers look much cooler now. Thanks for showing me how to do this xx
You're welcome, Sarah. Enjoy your fab new look - and comfort.
Just laced a pair of vintage suede Van skate shoes with this straight-bar and pair of Neo-wows black elastic laces. Awesome clean look!
I was pleased to receive your photo of the end result, which has since been posted to the gallery on my website. I totally agree with the “clean, classic look”. Nice one!
1:08 start of tutorial. you're welcome.

Ok thanks 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 y
Great Tut mate. I was once a newb but now a pro of straight bar lacing thanks to you. 👍
Thanks for your kind words, Art Cat.
Easiest tutorial I’ve followed. Thank you I have finally been able to correct my shoe laces to these straight across ones.
Thanks, I'm pleased that my video made the process of straight-lacing your shoes quick and easy.
thank you sir this indeed was helpful.
You're welcome, Reuben.
thank you so much for this!! 💖
You're most welcome.
thank you this helps alot at first i just wanted this lacing because a character in a show i watch has this kind of lacing and my shoes kinda look like hers but now i realize it makes them more comfortable as well!
You're welcome, Ada. How lucky is that - *looks* better plus *feels* better as well! Enjoy the lacing.
Heck yah my friend! I was going crazy over here. It seems ease but this video made it feel easy. Thanks for the video.
It's a deceptively simple looking lacing on the outside - all the tricky stuff happens on the inside. I'm happy that my video helped, Rion.
this helped me so much!!! you're a wizard thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
You're welcome, Meghan. Now you too can enjoy some "wizard" lacing.
Hi
😘

@@sowmyashree8513 🤣
Thank u for the help

Thanks professor! I found the diagram on your website a bit confusing but this video made it really simple to follow. My new shoes look way cooler now. Cheers!
Chris Holesgrove Thanks for the feedback. It certainly seems to help if I present different methods to suit different learning styles. Glad you're enjoying the end result.
Thank you Professor Shoelace, this was very helpful!
You're welcome, Brian, I'm happy to have helped.
Thank you! I am a complete newbie and had the problem of odd number of pairs of holes. I used the easiest work around that I could understand and it looked OK.. (2 coming out of one hole at the top)
WillYouLaugh The odd eyelet pairs dilemma trips up a lot of people when they first try Straight Bar Lacing. Great that you found one of the workarounds suitable.
I just bought myself a pair of Dr. Martens - been 18 years...for the life of me, I couldn't remember how to lace like this. THANK YOU!
+Stefanie Elle
I'm pleased that you were able to straight lace your new DMs via my video. If you got 18 years out of your previous pair of DMs, that's a whole other accomplishment!
I just did my fourth lacing and it is correct. I will redo the others and again, a huge thank you!
Perfect!
Thank you so much! Learned how to lace my husband's DC shoes just how he likes!!!
Awesome! Hope your hubby enjoys the lacing - and appreciates your effort.
+Tawny Smith It would seem to be a good idea to turn the shoe 180 degrees, but if I did, terms like "top" and "bottom" become ambiguous. Top of the lacing? Or top of the screen?
thank you sir
***** You're welcome to call me "Ian", or the good old Aussie standby: "Mate".
thank you professor shoelace i already know your ian knot
thx for making this video took me long to find it but thank you :)
Elora sutton
I'm sorry that you don't get it. Maybe try my website, which has more detailed step-by-step instructions and animated diagrams.
Am I the only one looking at the shoes in front of them and is still 100% lost? :)
Pretend you're a kid again. Kids are always learning things for the first time and frequently feel lost. Then just make a start and be prepared to either have to try again or to surprise yourself when it all just works out.
LOL

@@ardenbliss9359 hi
Great video. Helped me lace shoes that had short laces. Looks so much better and fits better too. Thanks!!
You're welcome, Mark. It's nice to hear that a simple re-lace solved two problems for you. Enjoy the lacing!
Excellent "how to" video on this subject. Thank you!
Stephanie Roberts You're welcome, I'm pleased that you enjoyed my "how to".
very much!
Thanks for this. Watch out ladies, my vans and I are coming...
Bar-laced Vans - look out!
Wish you told me about the odd eyelids beforehand 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Hopefully you were able to use one of the odd-eyelet variations. Wouldn't want you with a permanent frown! [grin]
ProfessorShoelace sort of, but it doesn't tie tight. I probably messed I up at some point. Either way sorry I didn't thank you for the video that sparked the interest in lacing, was just a bit frustrated with getting to the end and experiencing that, but it's pretty funny looking back at it. So, thanks!
You are not alone, Danesh. Many people get frustrated when they discover that an odd number of eyelet pairs changes straight lacing into a not-so-straightforward experience. And I appreciate your "Thank you" as well!
They're called eyelets.
I have looked at multiple google images and RUclips videos... this was the only one that was straight to the point and worked. Thank you!
You're welcome. I'm pleased that you felt that my instructions were "straight to the point". That's exactly how I was hoping they would be! Nice to know that it is appreciated.
THANK YOU! My shoe had 7 pairs of eyelets and I was totally convinced I had forgotten how to tie a straight bar properly, but the part at 4:20 was a big relief that it wasn't me! I was able to use the single diagonal at the bottom workaround at 4:55 and it looks/functions great! Thanks again man! :)
You're welcome, Jesse. Better to discover that it was the *shoe* that was odd and not yourself, right? I'm pleased that you found one of my odd workarounds suitable.
Exactly!! For the record, I did like how the European style looked when I tried it for the first time, but I had to tie it too tight to get enough string for the bow so I had to find a way to get this to work. Keep doing what you do Prof. Shoelace!
As you discovered, Straight Bar Lacing is a great solution for when you need a bit of extra length to tie a comfortable bow.
Me: can play keyboard
Also me: doesn’t know how to tie shoes
No sweat, learn my “Ian Knot” and you'll add “Can tie the world's fastest shoelace knot” to the “+” side of your equation, putting you back ahead of the pack.
Do the other foot the right foot dude

Great video, so easy to follow as a visual learning this was great!! Ready to wear my Superga now 😊
I'm happy to have helped. Enjoy your Straight Bar Laced Supergas!
I love this, I remember back in like 2002 straight laces were all the rage and i spent hours mastering how to figure out how it was done
Nice to see it's still as popular 11 years later!
nice shoes men
The shoes and I both appreciate your nice comment.
Nice pics bro the UK and Ireland and the other day and night and I am a beautiful person who is the best of luck with the latest version of the most important thing is that the information contained in this
.
I started wearing vans at age 12, I am 24 now. I’ve used this video to lace my laces ever since. I buy 4 pears of vans each year. 4 times 12 equals me watching this video 48 times. Thank you so much
That's amazing! I'm really pleased that my video has been helpful over and over again - and that your Vans are always well turned out as a result.
Thanks. Helped me alot and now i know how to bar lace! New talent acquired XD
You're welcome, enjoy your new talent.
I'm 12 and I still can't do shoe laces.................everyone else in my school can.......Why not me
People learn differently. Obviously no-one has yet discovered how to tap into your learning style to successfully teach you shoe lacing skills. Maybe check out my website, which shows animated diagrams plus step-by-step instructions for dozens of shoe lacing methods and shoelace knots. Hopefully you can run these at your own pace and succeed at last. Good luck!
Cool but what is a bacon eyelid
Sorry you couldn't follow my Aussie accent. Press RUclips's [CC] button to turn on Closed Captions (aka subtitles), which are for the benefit of both hearing impaired people and international listeners.
(PS. It was actually "vacant eyelet")
Thanks
this was really helpful 👌👍😊
You're welcome, enjoy the lacing!
***** Yep 😊👍
This method made breaking in my Solovair's so much more comfortable. The European style puts a bunch of pressure on the top of my foot that made them practically unbearable, this simple change made them feel like clouds. Thank you shoe lace wizard!
You're most welcome! Enjoy your new-found comfort.
WTF is a bacon eyelid
I've added subtitles to all my videos, not just to benefit the deaf but also for those cases where "vacant eyelet" might sound like "bacon eyelid". Click on the "CC" in the RUclips player.
Nice one professor... Top man!
Just finished straight bar lacing my Adidas Springblades.
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, Daniel. Enjoy your straight-laced Springblades.
Thank you so much! Very easy to follow and solved a nightmare that I was having with my shoes
You're most welcome! It's great to hear that my instructions solved the mystery for you. Enjoy the lacing.
this is amazing! Time to change all my laces 😀
Freshen up your whole style, right? Enjoy the new look, Grace.
Awesome, got some Loake shoes for Christmas, look so much smarter with the laces like this. Thanks Prof!
+Andyjzr
Loakes do look particularly distinctive when straight laced. I'm happy that the video helped.
Thanks Ian for an excellent easy to follow tutorial.
Colin Hurry I’ve got the same name as you
I'm pleased that you found it easy. Thanks in return for your kind words, Colin.
I used this video to bead my shoelaces, and it worked!!!!!
I'm pleased that my video helped you with your lacing, Claire!
Thank you, this was very helpful! 😁
You're most welcome!
I had only 10 eyelids so the instructions didn't work with my sneakers. However, the concept you showed was helpful and because of your help, I was able to straight bar my sneakers. Thank you!
You're welcome, Anthony. I'm pleased that you were able to adapt the Straight Bar Lacing for your five-eyelet-pair sneakers. Enjoy the new look!
Thanks Professor you did an unforgettable favour to me and my family. May God bless you.
That's great! May you all enjoy the lacing.
Hi Prof. You done a great job. Thanks !!!
It did help me in my time of need. I give you five++
+Girish Jain
I'm pleased to have helped in your time of need, Girish. Thanks also for the positive feedback.
Years late to this tutorial but my Saint Laurent SL-01H high tops are looking hella fine laces-wise now. Thank you my friend.
It's never too late to up your style.
I've watched three or four different videos of this system and yours is the best. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words, Doug. I'm pleased that my video worked for you. Enjoy the lacing!
Thanks for the tutorial! My feet are shaped stupidly and I have all sorts of shoe/foot issues. I’ve been using the lock lacing for years to prevent heel slippage. I was look for possible cause of aches across the top of my foot and one site recommended the bar lacing. Handily my current shoes have 5 eyelets so I can use the bar and lock lacings. I hope it helps!
Bar Lacing + Lock Lacing will hopefully be an ideal combination for you. Good luck, Sheri.
Loved the fastest tie and the end! Thanks dude!
I can't help showing off my "Ian Knot" - glad you liked it!
This is the BEST tutorial I have found! Thank you!
You're most welcome - I'm pleased that you were able to follow it easily. Enjoy the lacing.
thank you so much for this !!!!! helped a bunch really
You're welcome, Nia, I'm pleased to have helped. Enjoy the lacing.
I know this is an old vid but thank you so much! Your voice is perfect for tutorials! 😄
You're welcome, Desiree - and thanks for your kind words!
Thanks for this tutorial, I loved it! ❤❤
You're welcome, Bryan, I'm glad you liked it.
it so difficult but you make it easy and.......SUBSCRIBED!
Thank you very much for your help this helped me a lot.
Terrific to hear that you found my instructions were easy for you to follow. I hope to continue with more easy-to-follow videos.
This is sooo much more comfortable for my feet! Thank you sir😃
Great to hear that you've already had a noticeable benefit, Kim. Enjoy your new comfort.

Thank you soo much for your help! And this video ! Because of this I was able to lace my shoes! Thank you so much !
You're most welcome, Kiran. Enjoy the lacing.
Thanks for this video. My shoes looks fabulous now. No one in school haven't got so cool shoelaces on shoes. Thanks brom Czech republik ;-) :-*
Dia Great that you'll have the coolest laces in school. G'day from Australia.
You really do learn something new every day! Thanks!
You're welcome, Luann.
Online tutorial helped me more than the actual video. Thanks for helping.
You're welcome, I'm pleased that you went to the website. It's got heaps of detail for studying at leisure - way more than can fit in a four-minute video.
You are a legend brother, thanks! 👌
I'm happy to have helped, Fynn.
this was really helpful thank you
You're welcome, I'm happy to have helped.
Every time I buy shoes , I come to see this video , very helpful , thanks
Glad you're finding the video useful. Maybe they should start selling shoes laced this way?
My family and I got a bunch of new shoes today! Some DC, Vans, and Converse just to name a few... Well anyway, the display shoes were all bar laced, but after we got home and tried to lace our shoes using the bar lacing method, we failed over and over. I got so frustrated until my boyfriend suggested RUclips. Thanks Professor Shoelace :) You explained things clearly and easily. Now our family's shoes are ready to go :)
Maria Agosta Great to hear that my video explained the Bar Lacing technique and you managed to get all your new shoes nicely re-laced. Enjoy!
Professor shoelace.. You my good sir, have saved my cosplay. God bless
Kai chou Cosplay is best when you get the costume perfect, including getting the lacing just right. I'm happy to have helped!
Startin the new year with a new style this year will be straight shoelaces THANK YOUUUUU!!!
Be good to see if you can run one year straight. (Sorry, I couldn't help that one!) Enjoy the lacing.
Thanks! Very comprehensive tutorial!
You're welcome, I like to give as much info as possible.
This is was my favorite way to lace my sneakers back in high school!
I hope it remains a favorite for certain applications even into adulthood.
It beautified my 8 eyelets boot!! Tried others but this is legit.✌thanx! 😊
I can imagine how that would look. Glad you liked it!
I had to go back and watch over and over again to get it right, but I did, and thank you!
Your persistence paid off, Susan. Congratulations!
I love your website. You are so generous. I found your book on Amazon and ordered it. The reviews say that rhe book is out of print. You should reconsider putting it back in print. I am buying 2 more for our great nieces, I think rhey will love your book. And will enjoy showing off their sneakers with fancy lacing.Thank you. I also love your Ian Knot.
Thanks again for your kind words, Diane. It's a shame about my book, but it was the publisher's choice not to reprint, not mine. It seems to matter little that my book received such positive reviews from customers and that it completely sold out. I can only guess that that they need a book to be a runaway bestseller nowadays before they will consider reprints.
Nice idea Tawny
Although I don't know who "Tawny" refers to, I'm pleased that you liked the lacing.
THANK YOU THIS VIDEO WAS SOO USEFULL!!!
