'Heel lock lacing locks your heel down into the back of the boot to prevent foot movement inside the boot.  1) Put your boot making sure that your heel is as far down to the back of your boot as possible 2) Find the point on the front of your ankle where your foot meets your leg and identify where this is on your boot 3) Lace your boots as normal up to this point and then tie a surgeon’s knot 4) Run the laces up to the next hook to lock off the knot and tie another surgeon’s knot 5) Finish lacing as normal up to the top of the boot  Use this lacing if:  - You get heel blisters - Your heel is lifting out of your boot - Your toes bang on the front of your boots when walking downhill'
