, said the counterintuitive lacing I’ve noticed is designed to hide the knot on dress shoes. “So if you were to tie a knot there you can usually tuck the knot on the inside of the tongue,” he said.But who would want to hide the knot? Knots are beautiful! Remember how proud you were when you first learned how to tie your own shoes?, a nice leather dress shoe designed in Brooklyn and made in Portugal. In most of the company’s photos, you don’t see a knot at all.
The shoes in Amberjack’s photos employ what’s called the straight bar lacing style, as opposed to the crisscross lace style. In straight bar, the lace sits across the tongue like the rungs of a ladder. The style is everywhere these days, including the web, where one YouTuber calls it one of the simplest things you can do to upgrade your style “and can set you apart from other guys.”
Even brands that advertise with shoes in the crisscross style — Johnston & Murphy is one — have the laces disappearingthem. And they’re mysteriously knotless. Perhaps footwear manufacturers fear that knots are the genitals of a shoe and, as on a smooth and sexless store mannequin, must not be shown.
