    My podiatrist showed it to me, because it changes where the pressure goes, but I dont like it, because it's so much harder to tighten the lower part of the foot.

    And that's the issue here. There are several different ways to lace up, different approaches being appropriate to different gaits, distances, running surfaces. There is no best way.

    Saw this method on the face awhile back. Tried it and it works great on athletic shoes. Wishing my hiking boots had the extra eyelet. Thanks for sharing this method.

    I have created a double eyelet on on of my pair of shoes that did not have them.

    I started doing this but then realized that I didn't have any problems when tying my shoes without it. So much easier just tying my shoes normally (especially since I run early morning and am usually tying my shoes in the dark).
