While searching for some sort of online agent which does for shoe styles what various sites do for music (i.e., given the music I'm listening to now, suggest some other music I might like, except for shoe styles), I found this:

Shoe Lacing Methods.

One of the great things about the web is the degree to which its utility is enhanced by all of us posting about our particular obsessions.

(Still haven't found a shoe style suggestor site, though. Don't know if one actually exists.)

Back in my teenybopper days I used to do those experiements on my Chuck Taylors. My favorite was a variation on the lattice lacing, so that there was a line of laces vertically through each set of eyelets and a flat weave in the center. I loved those shoes!

There's this shoe-selling site online, http://www.zappos.com, that allows you to sort shoes by size, and style, and color, and heel height, and price. And the shoes are reviewed. Recently I wanted a black walking sandal, checked their site, and had scads to look at.

Generally they have good prices, but if you find a shoe you like, it helps to do a search for that specific shoe, since Zappos often plays fast and loose with its sale pricing.

My Dad always uses the ladder lacing for boots. He says it doesn't put as much pressure on the foot as other boot lacings.
