need help with shoelaces :P

hi, have a look at this skate shoe I've been making. it needs shoe laces and i don't know how to supply them :P

so obviously what i want is for the laces to criss cross over the gap/tongue, you know how shoe laces go :)
i tried extruding from a hole, but it's just so ineffective. does anyone know of a good modeling technique for this, or a tutorial that would tell me? thanks

you can use splines and select Renderable or extrude the splines if you want a flat lace

If you are using 3dsMax:

Create menu > Shapes > Line

choose a viewport and start drawing the points, when you are done move the points in the other viewports to adjust them to the shoe.

I suggest you read the help. You can download it from Autodesk site if you don't have it.
Anyway, feel free to ask if you need
nice shoe by the way ;)
