Einleitung

This guide will display how to unlace high top shoes and how to replace them. The Ukrainian lacing pattern will be used, creating two anchored top knots. This design has a set of base knots that make the shoes easy to lace and easy to wear.

Dear ifixit,

This post worked great.

This post has really helped my visitors. Your "less writing and more picture" structure has helped my visitors to understand. Anyone who wants to lace shoes perfectly should really read this article. Thank you ..

In fact, I have posted a article about shoelaces ( read this ). On this post i've tried to provide valuable information about different types of shoelaces and their features. Hope you'll like it.
