    When first starting to thread the laces through, make sure that the lengths of the laces are even coming out of both sides. If not, keep adjusting.

    How do I keep the tongue from going to the side?

    If, for example, the tongue goes down to the right I use the left-side lace and loop it around the loop sewn onto the tongue to help keep it straight.

    Use the lattice method because it looks better on a shoe with five pair of holes. Also, use a longer pair of laces.

    Simply replace your regular laces with the no-tie laces by threading them through the eyelets of your shoes. Once threaded, adjust the tension of the laces to your preference, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. Many no-tie laces come with an adjustable locking mechanism that allows you to customize the tension of the laces and lock them in place. After threading the laces through the eyelets, adjust the locking mechanism to secure the laces at your desired tightness. Some no-tie laces feature a loop-and-toggle design. Thread the laces through the eyelets of your shoes as usual, then create a loop with each lace end.
