Black Toe Lacing Technique

Have you ever lost a toe nail from running or sport? Or do your toe nails just go black? Or maybe you feel as if you slide forward in your shoe while walking or running....?

But do not fear in most cases the basic shoe lacing technique above can solve all your problems!
