To properly lace snow boots according to the provided reference, the focus is primarily on the method for tying the laces securely after they have been threaded through the eyelets. This involves a specific sequence of steps to create a secure knot.
Tying Your Snow Boot Laces
Once your snow boot laces are threaded and pulled snug, the method described involves a common and effective knotting technique.
Here's a breakdown of the process shown in the reference:
- Preparation: Begin with the laces pulled tight and crossed over each other, ready to form the initial knot base. The reference suggests putting your finger to hold this crossover point stable.
- Forming the Base Knot: The laces are then manipulated to create the first part of the knot.
- Bunny Ears Method: Create two loops, often referred to as "bunny ears," one with each lace end.
- Loop and Swoop: Take one loop and wrap it around the other loop, pulling it through the resulting opening.
- Pull Tight: Pull firmly on both lace ends (the "bunny ears") to tighten the knot snugly against the boot.
- Double Knot for Security: To ensure the knot doesn't come undone during activity, tie a second knot immediately after the first one. This is referred to as a "double knot."
- Tuck Laces: Finally, tuck the ends of your laces away. This keeps them from catching on anything while you're wearing the boots.
Following these steps helps to properly tie a snow boot for a secure fit.
