Have you ever tied leather shoelaces with "underwrap"?

There should be more than a few people who have never tied it with an underlap even if they have an overlap. Compared to the overwrap, the underwrap is more comfortable and the string is easier to loosen.

I will introduce how to tie such an underwrap with a video. We also introduce photos of 5 types of leather shoes with under wraps, so please refer to them when putting them through your own shoes.

Let's take a look at how each shoe looks when it's passed through an underwrap

I can't say that the black straight tip doesn't look good. Single or parallel is recommended.

Compared to the black straight tip, there is less sense of incongruity, but it is not very compatible. It doesn't seem to suit shoes with inner feathers.

U-tip derby works well with single, parallel, overlap, and underwrap ties.

Therefore, it is better to choose according to the fashion when you wear it, such as single or parallel when you are wearing dressy clothes, and overlap or underwrap when you are wearing more casual clothes.

It is common to tie with an underwrap in a derby with an outer eyelet of American taste, but there is no sense of incongruity even with an underwrap.

Underwraps are looser and easier to untie, so if you are concerned about the tightness of the instep, or if you find it troublesome to put them on and take them off, you should change to underwraps.

An underwrap is perfect for a 3-eyelet derby. All eyelets are passed through from the back, so I think it goes well with shoes with a small number of eyelets.

By the way, the overlap looks like this.

If you are tied with an overlap and you are concerned about the tightness of the instep, or if it is difficult to loosen the laces and it is troublesome to put on and take off, try changing to an underwrap.
