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

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

Veritasium is owned by private equity.

It is, but luckily, private equities don't decide whether knots untie or not, so the video may still be helpful.

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.

My kids learned to tie their shoes this way from this site and never knew differently. They're 20 and 17 now.

Best investment in the last 5 years for me - elastic shoelaces. Never have to tie my shoes again

depending on your sole preferences, I bet you would like the Xero Prio Coast shoe. I just got a pair – elastic laces, slip-on ergonomics, barefoot sole, large toebox. They are fantastic.

You may be interested in Birchbury as well. They also have a wide toe box and elastic laces, while having some more classic and clean looks. I especially like the dress shoes. I’m not sure what magic they used to still make them look normal, while feeling like wearing a wide toebox slipper.

Though they don’t treat them with any water proofing to help with breathability, which I didn’t find out until they showed up. This always makes me paranoid to wear them out in the rain. Keep that in mind (or add your own treatment)

Agreed 100%. But for me it was many, many years ago. But this is my daily shoelace knot and it works amazingly well.

Great knot and amazing site. It has a distinct "old internet" feel to it, and I mean that as nothing but a compliment. I miss those days, pre platforms capturing everything and making us angry at each other for their engagement metrics.
