The variation is that the "over" part is always diagonally oriented, so that you only see the top lace going in one direction.

I got that part from the pictures.

Does the "over part" always go towards the outside of the shoe (on each respective side)?

Well, it depends on whether you want a V or a ^ shape between the two shoes (relative to me looking down at my own feet). But yes, I usually look for a V, so on the left shoe the lace goes under the eyelet, comes over the eylet to the right side, and goes over the eyelet back to go back in. Meanwhile, the "under" lace crosses the shoe under the eylet, so that on the next row it can comee out from underneath, go over the eyelet, and then cross "over" to the other eyelet to form the next row of "over".

Here is a close-up:



Sorry for the dusty shoes. I promise to dust them off properly before I wear them tonight! lol.

OMG, local weather man is on tv, wearing a grey suit/tie with WHITE GUCCI BIT LOAFERS.....Looks like sh*t.

He’s got his reasons: it evokes the clouds, you see.

Well THAT is a positive spin on crappy shoes. I love it.

I have some lined with sheep skin

My Jefferson 2.0s are. I find the lining deliciously soft, but I fear for its longevity as it seems to take a stain from the sweat of one's feet really readily in a way that regular leather linings don't.

Linings yes, I meant outer leather.

Love the look of the flat laces!

I've been a few posts lately expressing longing for COLOR. How great are the new Red Strandmoks, just released online? I'm loving this punchy color for Spring, and that we're using the chestnut dainite more often.

I think AE Ashley was behind that new red Strandmok.

I have a pair of "kid leather" (young goat) shoes from the Spanish maker starting with a 'C' -- the leather is very soft and supple, extremely comfortable but my guess is they will not have the longevity of calfskin
