How To Alleviate Top Of Foot Pain With This Lacing Technique

Let’s talk a little bit about how to alleviate top-of-foot pain. We’ve all experienced it at one time or another when we’ve tied our shoes too tight and the laces are pressing down on the top of the foot.

When that happens, you loosen the laces, and it feels better.

But some people have a high instep.

This means that they have a thicker foot from the arch to the top of the foot.

This thickness adds more pressure against the tongue of the shoe and the laces.

This causes constant pressure, pain, and hot spots.

So just loosening the laces doesn’t remove the pain.

So you have to do something different.

And that means relacing the shoe in a different way so it removes any pressure from the top of the foot.

In the video above, I’ll walk you through a lacing technique that will do exactly that.

It’s quite different from the standard lacing that we all know.

But it works really well to alleviate top-of-foot pain that you can experience, especially if you have a high instep.

So take a look at the video, then lace your shoes just like it shows, and see how much it helps.

And if you still have pain, then scroll down and schedule an appointment so we can find the solution.

The Lock And Load Shoe Lacing Technique

Below there is a walk-through video on to do what I call the lock and load shoe lacing technique.

Basically it’s a high loop, a low loop, and a cinch to bring it all together.

If you’re not sure what that means then check out the vidoe below.

We’re always showing people different ways to lace their shoes depending on what can help them.

The lock and load shoe lacing technique is great to help lock the heel in place so the shoe doesn’t move. But what’s really good is it frees up pressure on the bone on the top of the foot.

So you’ll have a very sucure fit with your shoes and less pressure on the top of your foot.

Here’s the walkthrough video on how to do it.

If you have any questions about this shoe lacing technique just let us know.

The Tongue Lacing Trick

One of the biggest issues I see with shoes is the tongue always sliding off to the side. This is no good.

This can cause a whole host of issues with your foot, and also with the structure of the shoe.

You’d never think something like this could cause problems but it does.

So I put together a quick video that will show you the tongue lacing trick.

This will show you how to lace your shoe so that the tongue never slides ever again.

Enjoy…
