I was wrong then and have changed my mind and she is still right and always was. See how easy that is?

re. straight bar lacing vs. cross hatching
That is the WRONG way to do that. Do not skip more than one hole as you lace upwards or you will pull the flaps diagonally as you tighten the laces and run the risk of having the 'long' lace show from beneath the flap (what's it called there above the tongue?) particularly with more holes. I also find it less comfortable than how I suggest.
