33 different ways to distribute shoes My diagrams are all drawn as though looking from the front of the shoe, such that the lower part of the lacing is at the bottom of the disince, and are color-coded to make it easier to follow where the specified runs. generally, the start of the lacing is gray, whilst the starting end that starts on the left side is blue and the end that starts on the right side is yellow. for color-blind visitors, Blue = dark = left, yellow = light = right.
