Lace-up boots and other footwear both classic and sporty often looks that way. To perform this process must pass through the two lower strap openings lead outwards on both sides and ends of the cross and then from the inside outwards through the skip subsequent openings. This method is one of the most convenient, as is the outside and no pressure on the leg.
