How to tie your running shoes

Alright so I was at a snails pace running shop yesterday with my parents. Well while i was there this guy next to me was talking to the lady that worked there and asked what are those holes for??

Well I have always wondered the same thing what are these second holes for??

So she explained what to do...
here is the best way i could describe it...

(all of the pictures are on my other blog: http://runningforanonrunner.blogspot.com/2009/06/this-is-going-to-change-your-life.html)

1. take the laces and put the same side lace into the hole from the outside to the inside.
2. make it into a loop don't pull it all the way through
3. take the other side's lace and put it through the loop. do the same on the other side.
4. Then pull them tight. They should look somewhat like this.
5. Then tie it like normal...


So here is what happens... The shoe laces tied this way should make the laces pull from lower back on the foot. The should stay on better, fit better, and be tighter.
Here is where it should pull...
I was amazed by the different feel that it gave.
You need to try it!
