[i]without pictures. The elastic is a supplement to the laces, not a substitute. Some men can get along without it, which is probably why it isn't sewn in place for you. It's intended to keep the back of the shoe from slipping off the heel. As for how to locate it, best is to look at some dancer with elastic on his/her shoes, or at a picture, if you can find one. One suggestion is to fold the back of the shoe down flat against the sole. Then the sides will fold out, and the creases indicate the location and direction of the elastic. Finding that location if you can't see a model is the first hard part; sewing the elastic in place is the other hard part. I finally gave up, attached the elastics with Weldwood contact cement, and secured them with a couple of heavy-duty staples (like Bostitch SB35 1/4). People in class think I'm crazy, but it looks better than when I sew them, and they have never come loose on me.Hope this helps.Tom Parsons <ul><li><a href="http://www.panix.com/~twp" target=_top>Tom's Page</a></ul> [/i]
