Start with one shoe and one lace. Set the shoe in front of you on the table with the heel closer to you. make a knot at one end of the lace. pull lace through the eyelets. Notice your lace won't come through the first eyelet because the knot stops it.Pull your lace through all the eyelets going criss cross as you normally did prestroke. You end up with about half the lace after you have pulled your lace through all the eyelets. Now to tie your lace with only a single strand.bend in two what you have left of the lace forming a looppass this loop under the last part that you laced. this forms another loop on the right. pass your first loop through this last loop. Pull to tighten and voila you have half a bow . Practice with the shoe on the table a few times the put your shoe on and do up your lace. What I do is take my half bow and tuck it inside the shoe so it won't come undone. Do your other shoe and you are set to go.

I hope I was clear enough in my instructions. Good luck.

P.S. The only way that might work to show you how to do it is if you IM me and we do it together step by step.
