LACE UP Meaning and Definition

  1. The phrase "lace up" is a verb that refers to the action of tying or fastening something, typically a shoe or a piece of clothing, using laces or cords. The term primarily denotes the act of securing footwear by threading a lace or cord through the eyelets or loops and tying a knot.

    In the context of shoes, "lace up" describes the method of shoe closure wherein the shoelaces are crossed over each other and threaded through the eyelets in a crisscross pattern. Once the laces are properly threaded, they are tightened and secured by tying a knot or a bow at the topmost eyelets, ensuring a snug fit around the foot.

It is associated with the idea of readiness, as lacing up implies being prepared, secured, or properly attired, whether for physical activities, fashion, or practicality.
