The way you tie the laces of your boot determines how comfortable you feel and the safety the boot offers. Loose laces keep you stopping to tie them while improper lacing makes the shoe crooked. If you tie the boots too tight or too loose, you might end up with blisters and bruises.
Shop for boots whose lacing system ends up at the top end of the boot. This way, you can adjust the lacing as you desire to make the boot comfortable. Tie the shoe to the last hole or hook to ensure that no gaps remain at the top collar for a snug fit during the hike. Make the lacing comfortable since too tight or too loose lacing might affect your stability. You can watch the video bellow for more details.
