I've got a somewhat narrow ankle. Been using Mizunos running shoes with bio-lock which allows me to tighten the laces enough to hold the shoe firm at the angle while leaving the laces loose toward the toes. With my shoes without 'lock' laces eventually slip i.e loosen around ankle and/or tighten near front. Unfortunately 'bio-lock' is now only available on most expensive mizunos.
My latest shoes have ribbed laces (not sure of correct name). They have bulges and dips. Anyway I've found they do the same as bio-lock. I can have them tight at top of shoe and they don't slip.
Like to buy laces for my other shoes. Anyone know the correct name and a source?
Dunno what the laces are called, but I saw a tip on lacing on the New Balance site. They suggest using "two sets of shorter laces, one to lace the bottom three eyelets and the second to lace the top eyelets."
That's certainly and interesting work-around. The nice thing about the 'ribbed' (if that's what they're called), is they stay put in every loop eye-let in the shoe. No matter how many miles I end of going there's not change in the lace tightness in any particular loop.
