There are so many different ways to lace your boots, but the following three tried and true techniques are often used to relieve different types of common foot discomfort on the trails:
This knot will help protect your heel from excessive lifting, and prevent you from heel slippage. The last thing you want is a blister on your heel from your heel sliding around in your boot.
The window lacing technique will help relieve irritating pressure points on the top of your foot.
The toe-relief lacing relieves pressure in the toe box. This method is a stop gap solution for relieving pain that starts during your hike. It is especially helpful to anyone using an older pair of hiking boots. When you put a lot of miles on the trail, your feet and toes can swell more easily.
Wearing proper hiking socks can also help prevent blisters and rub spots. If your toes always hurt in your boots, after trying different lacing options, you probably need to try a different pair. Make sure you know how to choose the best hiking footwear for the trails.
