shoelaces


Know what this is below?

1 (Bottom, Longer): H×INT((P+2)÷2)+V×P+L

2 (Second, Shorter): H×INT((P+1)÷2)+V×(P−1)+L

You're right. It's the
formula for getting the lace length right for Bi-Colour Lacing.

The most famous
Shoelace site in the world is run by Ian Fieggen, a Melbourne bloke. It includes 33 different ways to lace shoes, plus comparisions of lacing methods by comfort, difficulty, visual appeal and ease.

His
photos and diagrams are helpful, to the point and a pleasure to view.
