Always double-knot your laces and tuck the loose ends into the lace guard, behind the tongue, or under a lace cover if your boots have one. Waxed laces hold knots better than unwaxed ones. Some riders use a surgeon's knot (extra wrap) at the ankle zone for extra security. If your boots have lace locks or hooks at the ankle, use them—they're designed to hold tension in the lower zone while you lace the upper zone.
