4 Cleanest Way to Tie Soccer Cleats/Football Boots

o make it happen, follow these steps and use the images as a guide.

1. Remove the lace from the top hole on each side.
2. Re-route the lace back through the top hole on the same side. So, it comes out and goes back in on the same side.
3. Leave a loop on each side, then cross the laces to the opposite side of the boot.
4. Place them through the loops and begin to tighten them up.
5. Tie your laces, allowing the loop to pull tight against the boot.

This style should work on most boots, except for those with a mid-cut collar (for obvious reasons!) If you decide to test it out on your boots, let us know in the comments what you think of the feel and fit, which pair you tried it on. and if it is something you would recommend to other players.

If you are a player that wants to change things up and try something new, check the images below and make the simple switch across the top lace eyelets. This dynamic system is key for players that want to avoid heel slipping. By securing the top level of the lacing system, you are essentially locking your foot in place right around the ankle lining. It is a simple change that for some players can make a big difference performance wise!
