i don't use the top hole's either....i only know one other person that doesn't use the top hole's when lacing their skates....that was the guy i got the idea from...he told me the same thing you said...but it had taken me a while to get use to it though..........but know i'm very comfortable with it.....
Waxed laces and tighten/tie your skates while standing up rather than sitting. Nice tight fit, with no numbness. I leave the top eyelet empty as well ... more ankle mobility *and* it eliminates lace bite on that tendon in the front of your ankle.
Very interesting! Makes sense about standing up while tying them to make sure your foot is exactly I the position it will be when skating. Thanks for the feedback!
I use two laces per skate, and they are normal tennis shoe laces, not thick heavy skate laces. One long lace for part that crosses the foot, and a shorter one for the remaining eyelets going up the ankle. That leaves NO laces on the area that flexes with the ankle. The result? Laces never loosen up and also never break. At least I haven't broken one in the 20 years I have been lacing this way. Also tennis shoes laces save a lot of weight over hockey laces.
From toe up to ankle I used to tie laces looser then gradually tighter also stopping an eyelet or two before top then wrap laces around ankle to tie off.
I’m glad somebody knows how to lace skates,outside in and lace doesn’t come loose

I stand up as well. Always made sense to me.

I used to go over and under the eye lets. Which held them in place tightly
