This is the video I keep referring to whenever I get a set of new docs or some work boots. I can't stand other lacing techniques. thanks for making it so easy.
I already knew how to bar lace , but came across this while searching other skin related videos..This is probably one of the easiest tutorials I've seen. Good job !
Thank you for sharing with us this unique technique! I have a pair of Corcoran and lacing them, as you showed us, made quite a difference. So again, thank you!
How did I just know there would be someone griping and talking shit on this page when I clicked the link? No one seems to realize that skins have been around since BEFORE the neo-nazi douchebags, and that there are groups of skins that are opposed to racial bigotry? I blame Jeraldo Rivera. Screw it.
@rubbershorts999 i recommend you go from top to the 5th instead the 4th eylet. maybe even the 6th. try it for yourself, see with which one you feel comfy. cheers!
I've been trying to decide between the 1460 or 1490 and I think I'm leaning towards 1490. I was wondering what size to get since I'm usually a 9.5US and I've been told to size down to a 8UK. what do you recommend? I cannot try them on either since my town doesn't sell them in any stores.
Solovairs are the REAL Doc Martens now. Even the English-made Doc's suck compared to Solovairs. They're made in the same facility with the same leather patterns/sizes, but Solovairs have better leather (dyed black on the INSIDE too!), better soles, and more respect for their cobbling history. I'll never buy another pair of Doc's, but I plan to be buried in Solovairs.
Cool Vid man I have been wanting to know how to do this for some time now. It was easier than I thought. Going to try this with my green docs with two laces black and yellow.

oi mate, I've got these pair of solovair's Hawkins 11 Eye and I've been trying to lace them up. The tounge of the shoe keeps sticking out at the end and I don't think I've laced them up that good. first time I've own a pair of boots before.
Sam SkinheadNation Arh, so your pair are 10 eye? I've tired it.. and it kinda works but the leather around the ankles bends alot, and the tongue is sometimes uneven and doesn't stay straight. What do you recommend I do? Is there another lacing technique that would work on any boot?
What is your take on lace colors and their relevance today. I have friends that suggest white laces laced like stitches identify you as white power, red laces as spilling blood. I wear camo laces or yellow ones. Frankly I just like wearing well made boots that can take a beating
I've heard that white laces wear the boneheads. But in my country some of the skinheads clam that they are SHARP od traditional skinheads. I don't understand pretty much these stuff. Can someone explain to me ?
Just picked up a pair of new Solovair boots and they aren't quite the quality of my 22 year old DM's. Was thinking maybe try Gripfast or pay the little extra for DM's vintage line. Any thoughts?
any idea where i could get legit martens for cheaper? or similar boots doesnt have to be martens.. i cant afford new ones :( guess ill have to save mah bucks :P
I use a non-colored leather creme for "moistening" and taking care of the leather, so it doesnt get rough, and a "shine sponge" for the shine afterwards.
True, but they're not easy to find in a lot of sizes (I'm a US13/UK12). Plus, the vintage Docs are dark brown, un-dyed leather on the underside of the lacing strips, which looks like shit. Besides, do you really want to give $200 to a company that sold out their name by outsourcing to China/Thailand? You can spend $200 for a pair of vintage Doc's, or spend $200 for a pair of superior Solovairs. The choice should be simple. Solovairs are better than Doc Martens.
Oi! Nice Video. I lace my docs a little different but yeah this way seems more easy to pull the laces, oh and what was the song when you pulled up them boots? :] Cheers and lots of fucking beers! From Whittier, Cali!

@Firebrand1967 cheers! the songs are Symarip - These boots are made for walking (nancy sinatra cover) and Ultimo Asalto - Pulling on the boots.

this helped a lot for my first time bar lacing. Thanks a lot!

+CarrionSoul i blame Ian Stuart!
for me it's just the perfect setting, you can try with the 3rd or the 5th.
yep, just take the 5th or 6th eyelet instead the 4th. try and you see what suits you best.
cheers
Thanks fella, I have just done my 20's like this. So much easier:D
@rubbershorts999 i recommend you go from top to the 5th instead the 4th eylet. maybe even the 6th. try it for yourself, see with which one you feel comfy. cheers!
i always wear my working boots, still gonna do this!
well, of course.
it's Symarip - Boots are made for walking and Ultimo Asalto - Pulling on the boots.
This work for my 7 eye docks like a charm
god ive watched this like 8 times along with 3 other guides i cant figure out how to lace
+Jacob Grimmykins What?....
hi,
wrap them around them ankles, but I wouldnt tuck the trousers in. if they have the right length, no need to tuck them in.
cheers
i love docs but whenever i see red ones i always think of Ronald McDonald haha
I've been trying to decide between the 1460 or 1490 and I think I'm leaning towards 1490. I was wondering what size to get since I'm usually a 9.5US and I've been told to size down to a 8UK. what do you recommend? I cannot try them on either since my town doesn't sell them in any stores.
Go one size up for UK footwear. You're 9.5US so get a pair of 11UK,which would be a US10
skinhead moonstomp- symarip
It's a version by UA. They changed the lyrics so it's no longer racist, just against hippies.
ultimo asalto - pulling on the boots
hi,
I bought some no-name laces at my local shoe store, 150cm.
cheers mate
Solovairs are the REAL Doc Martens now.
Even the English-made Doc's suck compared to Solovairs. They're made in the same facility with the same leather patterns/sizes, but Solovairs have better leather (dyed black on the INSIDE too!), better soles, and more respect for their cobbling history.
I'll never buy another pair of Doc's, but I plan to be buried in Solovairs.
Great bid and helpful. How does it work with 20 hole boots though?
This is pretty cool to know
u can still buy docs made in england. "vintage collection"
Cool Vid man I have been wanting to know how to do this for some time now. It was easier than I thought. Going to try this with my green docs with two laces black and yellow.
@IRatherBeDeadThanRed Cheers mate! and it's Ultimo Asalto.
i put a list of all music used in the info section. cheers!
Music in Video: Intro - Symarip - Skinhead Moonstomp & Cockney Rejects - OiOiOi - In Video: Symarip - these boots are made for walking & ultimo asalto - pulling on the boots
Dr. Martens is also made in england. but some models are taiwan made
You explained it quite easy, got it pretty fast.
Thanks!
hi,
the color of your laces doesn't mean sh*t, there is no "laces code".
and bright laces are always a smart choice.
cheers!
oi mate,
I've got these pair of solovair's Hawkins 11 Eye and I've been trying to lace them up. The tounge of the shoe keeps sticking out at the end and I don't think I've laced them up that good. first time I've own a pair of boots before.
could be that it doesnt work because of the uneven number of eyes..but give it a try mate. cheers!
Sam SkinheadNation Arh, so your pair are 10 eye? I've tired it.. and it kinda works but the leather around the ankles bends alot, and the tongue is sometimes uneven and doesn't stay straight.
What do you recommend I do? Is there another lacing technique that would work on any boot?
about 4-5 years now.
Cockney Rejects - Oi Oi Oi
Solovair is a brand.
Dr Martens : made in Taïwan
Solovair : made in England
Cool! So you end up with no unsightly cross laces ;-)
@TheWisePhotographer cheers! color coding is just total BS! put in whatever u like and what fits to the boot.
you mean in the video? that's Doc Martens Oxblood 10eye.
What is your take on lace colors and their relevance today. I have friends that suggest white laces laced like stitches identify you as white power, red laces as spilling blood. I wear camo laces or yellow ones. Frankly I just like wearing well made boots that can take a beating
i don't care about "shoe lace politics"..whatever looks best!
I will follow this technique :) also, I want white laces, but does it always mean white power or is that color coding just a bunch of bs?
this again??
the color of the laces doesnt represent the political opinion of a person, no matter what people tell you!
I've heard that white laces wear the boneheads. But in my country some of the skinheads clam that they are SHARP od traditional skinheads. I don't understand pretty much these stuff. Can someone explain to me ?
thanks for the info.
Just picked up a pair of new Solovair boots and they aren't quite the quality of my 22 year old DM's. Was thinking maybe try Gripfast or pay the little extra for DM's vintage line. Any thoughts?
cheers!
You scare me.
***** lol nothing
why
This makes me laugh
Why? White laces or skinheads in general? Both has nothing to do with racism actually.
+J Renèe ツ What? Why?
No they are not Nazis, Their is a cover tough a remade lyrics they used in Romper Stomper.
Contact Angry Young & Poor, a punk shop in Pennsylvania. That's where I got my Solovairs. Or look on Amazon UK.
i was searching for a video like this good. thank you to make this video :D the problem is that my boots are small and i cant lace them correctly D:
hallo,
jo, seh' nicht warum das nicht gehen sollte.
cheers.
Am I the only one disturbed with how he chose white laces for his preferred color?

Cheers!

did you darken them in any way ?
no, I didn't. it's Oxblood "made in england"..
hi,

what brand and color of polish do you use on your Docs?
I use a non-colored leather creme for "moistening" and taking care of the leather, so it doesnt get rough, and a "shine sponge" for the shine afterwards.

I've looked at your page and you have a playlist called white power so no one wants you
As a skinhead

the color of the laces doesnt represent the political opinion of a person, no matter what people tell you!
Is this way more comfortable than the cross lace?
no. it just looks "better" imo. cheers!
