Method for lacing a shoe, especially of a sports shoe, wherein the shoe comprises: - an upper, wherein at or on the upper a rotating closure is arranged for lacing the shoe at the foot of the wearer by means of at least one tensioning element, - wherein the rotating closure comprises a rotatably arranged tensioning roller, wherein the tensioning roller is driven by means of an electric motor, - wherein the rotating closure has or comprises furthermore at least one closing button which closing button is connected to a control system which actuates the electric motor, wherein the lacing of the shoe is carried out by the user of the shoe generating a closing signal by means of the closing button, characterized in that the method comprises the steps: - lacing the shoe with a first level of lacing power, resulting in a first tension of the at least one tensioning element, when the user of the shoe generates a first closing signal (S 1) by means of the closing button, wherein the first closing signal (S 1) is a singular tap on the closing button to which no further tap impulse follows within a predetermined waiting time (t w), or alternatively - lacing the shoe with a second level of lacing power, resulting in a second tension of the at least one tensioning element, which is higher than the first tension, when the user of the shoe generates a second closing signal (S 2) by means of the closing button, which is different from the first closing signal, wherein the second closing signal (S 2) is a done twice tap on the closing button, wherein the two tap impulses follow within a predetermined following time (t F) and wherein no further tap impulse follows within a predetermined waiting time (t W) to the done twice tap. - an upper, wherein at or on the upper a rotating closure is arranged for lacing the shoe at the foot of the wearer by means of at least one tensioning element, - wherein the rotating closure comprises a rotatably arranged tensioning roller, wherein the tensioning roller is driven by means of an electric motor, - wherein the rotating closure has or comprises furthermore at least one closing button which closing button is connected to a control system which actuates the electric motor, - lacing the shoe with a first level of lacing power, resulting in a first tension of the at least one tensioning element, when the user of the shoe generates a first closing signal (S 1) by means of the closing button, wherein the first closing signal (S 1) is a singular tap on the closing button to which no further tap impulse follows within a predetermined waiting time (t w), or alternatively - lacing the shoe with a second level of lacing power, resulting in a second tension of the at least one tensioning element, which is higher than the first tension, when the user of the shoe generates a second closing signal (S 2) by means of the closing button, which is different from the first closing signal, wherein the second closing signal (S 2) is a done twice tap on the closing button, wherein the two tap impulses follow within a predetermined following time (t F) and wherein no further tap impulse follows within a predetermined waiting time (t W) to the done twice tap.
