The two top laces are now ready for tying. Be sure that the lace lengths and kept evenly throughout, so that there isn't any slack. Note that this method usually results in a loosely laced shoe. To tighten the laces, you will have to go systematically from bottom to top. If you don't want to even tie the shoe, use wide laces, which can be worn without tying. To finish the top with another lace across, you would use the lace from the #1 left eyelet, and tuck in the right lace at the #2 eyelet. (If you are going to use this lacing method with no tie, you might consider making the right side of the lace about an inch or two longer when you start at the bottom eyelet pair #8. This will add some length to the lace half that ends up at the #1 left eyelet.)
