How to tie a single shoelace for leather shoes (how to thread) [Explained in the video! ]

We will explain in detail how to tie (pass), loosen and tighten the "single" shoelaces of leather shoes. We also introduce videos.

"Single" is a knot in which the strings that pass through the outside are parallel, just like "parallel". The “parallel” knot has a better fit, but the “single” knot looks neater and is suitable for formal occasions.

Let's take a closer look at "Single".

Let's take a look at how each shoe looks when worn single

Various types of leather shoes such as dress-like and casual-like are tied with a single.

The atmosphere of shoes changes with one way of tying. Please try to find your favorite combination.

jalan srivaya straight tip

A classic black straight tip for formal shoes that can be used for ceremonial occasions and business occasions. Straight chips go very well with singles.

It's also nice to have a commitment to changing the tie depending on the occasion, such as a parallel tie for business occasions with an emphasis on fit, and a single tie for ceremonial occasions with an emphasis on formality.

Similar to the straight tip, it goes well with inner feather shoes.

If the wings are closed with the shoes with inner wings, there is no difference in appearance between single and parallel. It would be one way to compare and choose a tying method that is comfortable to wear.

Raymer's U-Chip Derby

With a U-tip derby, you can see the inside of the blades, so you can see the neatness of the single.

Overlapping is the standard for American-style shoes, so I think it will look fresh if you tie it with a single. You can change the knot to match your outfit.

Sophis and Solid Plain Toe Derby

For shoes with 3 eyelets, both single and parallel knots are the same.

Single features

• It has a crisp impression and is suitable for formal occasions.
• The direction of the string that passes under the wings is the same and it looks neat
• The string that goes over the wings looks the same as the parallel
• Hold power is less than parallel

Points for connecting singles

• Pass only one string through in order from the bottom
• By passing the laces through the left and right shoes in the same direction, the laces look neat and the tension on the laces is the same.
