How to tie military boots?

Soldiers learn rather unique styles in the military. The diagonal lace method is quite popular, as is the ladder lace method and the army method. Once the military boots are laced, tying them in military-style helps provide extra support and a unique look.

Tie a knot on the ankle.

Bring both the sides of the lace together.

Wrap them clockwise around the ankle.

From there, take the remaining part of the lace and tuck it under the first part of the lace. Finally, tuck the two ends in the boot to secure the laces firmly. The aim is not to leave any ends hanging. This method of tying boots ensures both comfort and support.

What boots do the military use?

How to tuck pants into military boots?

One may fold the excess pants against the leg, so that it is pressed tightly against the ankle. Then, wear a pair of socks above the pants in order to hold them firmly over the ankle. The socks shouldn't be longer than the boots, and they should have a good elastic at the top. This helps it support and hold the pants firmly. Finally, simply zip, pull or tie the boots over the socks, while the pants are held firmly in place.
