I have truly never had a shoe come untied after switching to this knot years ago. My friends think I’m crazy when I rave about shoelaces to them and try to get them to see the light. Jokes on them! They’ll be left behind re-tying their shoes till the last day their feet walk the earth.

Runner here. I found some time ago that starting out the classic shoelace tie right-hand dominant and finishing it left-hand dominant results in a very stable knot. Lacing them high enough to keep the ends short helps too. It has been thousands of miles since my last loose shoelace.

I find taking the rabbit around the tree twice also works well.

I've been tying this for years. Good knot. I only have failures if I hit a snag (and no easy-release knot is going to be able to get around that)

I have some athletic shoes that come undone so easily and I think this knot will help me out a lot.

Friend shared this site with me like 10+ years ago, I've been using this knot ever since. Kind of amazing it's so generally unknown given how good it is.

You can also tie two knots but in the opposite directions:

I always refer to this site when I get a new pair of Adidas to get them laced up cool.

Been using this knot exclusively since 2013, it's stood the test of time.
