Then, Do this with the oposite ribbon (from outside to inside) and tie a small knot with the ends of the ribbon on the inside of the ankle. Because of the location of the knot, there will be a little more of one ribben left over, wrap this around the knot to conceal it. Best to tie your shoe (snug, but not too tight) with a flexed or semi-flexed foot as to not to cut off circulation, but still have the holding power for class. It is important to also have elastics or a drawstring. For performance, if you choose to do so with ribbons, tie snug on a pointed foot for a more streamline foot. Answers to this message:
