My ex-army grandpa used to tell my brother & I that story. If I criss-cross my laces I still get a wee worry at the back of my mind that I'll wake up with my throat cut

Boots aren’t dress shoes, they’re casual countrywear. Unless you mean Balmoral boots, which are just ugly.

No. Start as shown but equal lengths. then 1 up & horizontally across the outside on one side and 2 up & across on the other. then 2 up and across alternately. Finish will have 1 up one side and 2 up the other.

I use this method for dress shoes, not for heritage boots. But I agree this method makes sense for oxford boots.

When lacing the boots, do you have to lace them with your foot in them? The lacing looks very clean but I dont see how you would slip your foot in and out of those and how to keep them tight on your foot.... is it just me?

If your boot is casual enough to have speed hooks you dont use bar lacing.

Do you need to completely unlace then to loose to get your foot in the boot? Also how "much shorter" (a half, a quarter?) do you need to go with the shorter lace?

It's practical and stylish, never heard of the Balmoral boot or it's origins? It was very popular and is a staple in classic men's wear
