31 Different Ways to Lace Your Shoes
August 4th, 2006 by Podophile
As more and more people are trying the Nike+iPod Sport Kit with their own shoes as described in my “shoe hack,” I’m getting a number of inquiries from readers wondering how to further improve the stability and security of the sensor when attached to a non-Nike shoe. If you’re wondering the same thing, and assuming that you’re already using velcro, the next thing they may want to try is lacing your shoes differently. A helpful reader over at MacRumors has pointed me to a site that takes the subject of shoelaces to a whole new level.
Ian’s Shoelace Site features 31 different ways to lace shoes, many of which look like they would do a great job of holding the Nike+iPod sensor in place. If the space between your laces is too wide for the sensor, you may want to consider the lattice lacing method (pictured above). Alternately, the double-cross and zipper lacing methods should do the trick, too.
Ian’s site doesn’t stop there, however. There are dozens of articles on just about every shoelace topic imaginable; from shoelace tying, to calculating proper shoelace length, to repairing the aglets.
If you end up using any of Ian’s lacing methods to secure your Nike+iPod sensor to your shoe, send a photo to me at podophile@podophile.com and I’ll feature it on this page.
