Hello there. Please don't forget to include "Why YSK:" in the body text part of your posts :)

Ian's Shoelace Site has 25 different ways to tie your laces. I've been using the eponymous Ian knot for years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqXZHA46wTU A very fast way of tying your shoelaces.

I use this method. Took a second to learn but now it's insanely fast and easy. I used to tie and leave tied, but now I don't have to

I tied mine wrong for about 45 years. I use a variant of the strong knot he demonstrates here. It's a game changer. My shoes never come accidentally untied anymore.

The real trick is to reverse how you do the first part of the knot instead of trying to do your loops "backwards"

I just stick with Merrell slip-ons, no need for laces and you don't feel like a child with velcro.

I've never even heard of the way that he's calling wrong. I've always tied my shoes with the bow going across the shoe.

I just do the former but tie the bows together to "lock" the instant "pull to untie" feature of the knot, then treat them like slip-ons. The "lock" don't bind so they're not hard to remove if I have to.

I just make them loose enough to be able to slip on/off with minimal hand use but fit enough that they won't come off in normal circumstances.

I can tie a noose a little faster than my shoes so I guess I'm just bad at tying shoes.

i tie my laces the fancy pants way Kirby Allison demonstrated on his you tube channel. sorry im new here and dont know how to link things get. the basics are instead of one time around the loop you go twice around and then proceed as usual. since i started doing this my laces have never come untied by themselves. to release the knot just pull both tails at the same time

Didn't know I needed this
