Various lacing methods have been employed to enhance running performance and mitigate the risk of injuries. Runners have experimented with these patterns to identify the optimal configuration for their running form, anatomy, and sport. This research emphasizes the pivotal role of shoelace techniques in the broader context of ergonomics and injury prevention, highlighting the relationship between how the foot is laced within the shoe and its implications for the overall well-being of the runner. Tight laces with additional contact points adhere the foot to the shoe best but must also leave enough room in the shoe for the runner’s anatomy to perform natural anatomical mechanisms such as receiv
