The “middle node” is a suitable way for 5 holes.

  1. Lacing starts from the bottom, as usual. Thread the ends of the lace from the inside out.
  2. The peculiarity of the method is that before drawing the ends into opposite holes, make the laces cross in the middle, as for a knot, but do not tie.
  3. Repeat this 4 times. Finish lacing with a bow.

  3. Then the lace goes straight again, previously threaded under the weave.
  4. The lacing ends by tying in a strong bow.

The same method can be applied for 7 holes, if the length of the lace allows.

"Railway"

Another option for 7 pairs of holes on sneakers, this name is obtained for the similarity of weaving with rails and sleepers of the railway.

  1. Push the shoelaces into the lower holes from the inside out, skip the ends directly on the corresponding sides into the second pair of holes.
  2. Cross the laces inside and re-thread into the second holes.
  3. Repeat - pass the laces along the top right into the next pair of holes, cross the laces inside and bring them out into the same holes.
  4. Repeat the weaving as many times as necessary, complete, tie a knot and hide the ends inside.
