Try just puting a lock at the top of normal laces, or alternatively do ladder lacing (which is just locks all the way up). Some people use locks at the top to do super-tight lacing, but the main advantage is that they stop the laces from slipping so much, allowing a knot as tight or not as you want.
I use ladder lacing on leather cycling shoes and I found it enabled me to get the fit just right without putting painful pressure on the upper part of my foot.
Does anyone have any tips on the best way to lace trainers to avoid pressure on the tendons at the top of the foot?
I recently got some new shoes and although they're a great fit in general I can feel there's pressure around the area. Having just got over tendinitis in the other foot don't want to get it again!
