Eh, just another arbitrary SF rule that people mindlessly follow.
I say the crisscross looks better. Yup, that's my sprezzatura.
Gotta know when to bend the rules! If I write a book, I will write the rules.
And a new flock of idiots will all be cross lacing their oxfords.

Personally I think criss-cross lacing is fine on a shoe like yours, in brown with lots of broguing. Straight lacing is better for more formal shoes, especially anything in black.

i do one horizontal in the bottom hole and then criss cross the rest of the way up. i also find it allows me to have better control on how tight or loose the shoe fits.

Wright is like opium, quite pleasurable in small doses.
