10 ways to get late for work using different ways to tie your laces

This method creates a zigzag pattern resembling a zipper. Start by crossing the laces at the bottom and then feed each lace through the next set of eyelets from the opposite side.

Tie a standard knot, then tuck the ends of the laces back into the shoe before tying another knot over them. This way, the knot is hidden and won't come undone easily.

Alternate between vertical and horizontal lacing to create a checkerboard pattern across your shoe.

Begin by crossing the laces over at the bottom, then wrap each lace around the opposite side and continue crisscrossing until you reach the top. This creates a twisted, double helix effect.

Start by lacing your shoes normally up until the second-to-last set of eyelets. Instead of crossing the laces, feed each lace through the same side of the last set of eyelets, creating a star-shaped pattern.

Use zip ties instead of regular shoelaces. Simply insert a zip tie through each eyelet and pull them tight to secure your shoes.

Begin by crossing the laces at the bottom, then bring each lace diagonally up and feed it through the next higher eyelet. Repeat this pattern, creating a spiral effect up the shoe.

Cross the laces normally until you reach the last set of eyelets. Instead of tying a knot, feed each lace through the opposite side and continue, creating a chain-like appearance.

Begin by crossing the laces at the bottom, then feed each lace straight up and through the next higher eyelet on the same side. Repeat this pattern, creating an "X" shape all the way up the shoe.

Instead of tying a bow, simply tuck the ends of the laces into the last set of eyelets or wrap them around the shoe to secure them. This gives a sleek and knotless appearance.
