Narrow Foot, Wide Shoe – Telltale Lacing Signs

If you find that there’s little to no room between opposite eyelets when lacing your shoes, then your shoe’s probably too wide for your foot. Ditto if you can pinch folds of cloth between your first and second fingers in the toebox.

Conversely if your shoes upper when looking down, appears to be all shoelaces then your either have a really high arch, or your shoe is too narrow for your foot.

Shoe lacing patterns can tell you a lot about whether or not your shoe’s upper is the correct fit.
