How to Tie Ghillie Brogues

To ensure a perfect fit and traditional appearance for your Ghillie Brogues, follow these steps:

• Place your shoe on your foot, tightening the laces to a comfortable yet secure fit.
• Hold the ends of the laces firmly, then make a single twist to keep them from loosening.
• Keeping your grip, pull the laces tight so the twist remains intact.
• Cross the laces over to the opposite hand, changing their sides.
• Twist the laces together four to six times, creating a tensioned section about 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) long.
• Take the laces around the back of your leg, crossing them to secure the twisted portion.
• Bring the laces back to the front and tie a standard knot, then a double knot so they stay tied all day.

Tips:

• Keep the laces flat against your shoes and legs for comfort and a polished look.
• Balance the lace ends so they hang evenly; trim if necessary, but not too short.

Practice the technique a few times to achieve the perfect tension and appearance.
