Why YSK: The granny knot is the most common reason as to why show laces seem to be undone so easily. It’s caused when the Starting Knot & Finishing Bow don’t “balance” each other. Recognizing this can help you make your shoe knots much more secure.
Edit: (BTW, YSK the website as well. It’s a really good resource for tying and lacing shoes)
I honestly don’t think I could learn a new way to tie my shoes at this point in my life if I tried. It’d be like trying to learn to write with my left hand.
Doable, probably, but whats the point? My shoes come untied I just bend down and retie them. Takes a few seconds.
Nice shoelaces thus world peace are the point
I guess I can’t argue with that logic.
I understand not wanting to relearn, and it’s not really that big a deal, but it’s also pretty easy to retrain yourself. Just start tying them opposite of what you currently do (flip whichever one goes on top) and the rest is the same. It took me some time at first, but now it’s second nature to me.
