If anyone can tell a very sweaty boy how to stop my shoes from getting so soaked and ucky on long runs I am all ears.
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

At this clinic, there was a running shoe store owner who was very knowledgeable about shoe fit and there was also a MD who specialized in running related injuries. Both agreed that the last shoelace hole (the one farther outside) is completely useless!
As a very sweaty girl I'd be all ears, too! Thank heavens for technical, wicking fabrics! k
Good to know that now...17 years after some guy told me it would help my heels stop slipping in my track shoes. Not sure it ever helped, but I did it anyways & it has become such a habit that I do it on every pair of running/tennis shoes I own.
Here is a great site by New Balance. It shows an animation of how to lace for various complaints. I personally use the one for toes as I have lost a couple of big toe nails in past marathons. http://www.newbalance.com/techcenter/footwear/lacing_for_a_better_fit.html?sport=Running&gender=&product_type=&feature=
