With the “straight” lacing method you can lace up shoes with 3 holes and any other number of holes. You get not intersecting, and straight lines, which look very unusual.

Retract the laces into the first pair of holes, thread one end into the top hole, and then pull it into the hole opposite. Repeat the same manipulations with the second end until you reach the end.

This method is suitable for shoes with 4 holes or 5 holes. It is best to use not classic thin, but wide laces or ribbons. Thread the laces into the top pair of holes, tie a knot at one end and pull it all the way so that it rests against the hole. Then lace up the shoes, threading the free end diagonally, and when you reach the end, pull it up under the lacing.
