Thread one side of the lace through the bottom eyelet. Thread the other side of the lace into the opposite eyelet. Match the lace length by pulling both ends of the lace. Choose a lacing style and lace the rest of your shoes.
The eyelets are the small holes on the front of the boot. You can thread the lace through the eyelet from the outside or push the laces in through the holes from the middle of the shoe. Try both methods to see which style you prefer. Threading the laces from the outside lends itself well to the loose and criss-cross styles. If you laced from the outside in, the laces will wrap around the bottom eyelets. If you are lacing from the inside out, the laces will wrap over the leather to the next eyelet up. Lace both ends of the shoelace in the same way. For example, if the left side is going from the outside into the center of the shoe, the right side of the lace should do the same thing. Pull the ends of the shoelace up so that each side of the shoelace is the same length. This will ensure that your shoelaces aren’t lopsided when you reach the top holes. Now that you've started off your laces, you can choose a style and lace the rest of your shoes. If you need to wear your Timberlands for physical labor, make sure to use the criss-cross or army style to keep your boots tight on your feet. If you're wearing Timberlands for fashion, choose the loose style.
