Shoe stores often use this reversed version of Criss Cross Lacing
on their
display shoes in order to end up with the lace ends neatly tucked away inside.
The laces still criss-cross, but they run under-over instead of over-under.

I also thought of naming this method "Triathlon T1" lacing

The lace ends finish inside the shoe
 |
Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and is fed into
rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.
Note that because it's easier to get your fingers under the laces from the top of the
shoe and pull down, this lacing is easier to loosen, whilst criss-cross lacing
is easier to tighten. Triathletes may therefore find this lacing faster for
those shoes they need to remove quickly during a race.
Ian's Rating:
 Neat display shoe
Easier to loosen
 Harder to tighten |

Regardless of the lacing method you choose, finish it off in style
with my own Ian Knot, the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot.
