This one, that I just started.
The commenter after me ties their shoelaces very well, and Iβm jealous.
Thank you very much. It took a lot of practice to learn to do it so well.
I initially joined this conversation to say that there would be no way for anyone to deserve such a great shoe tying complement, but after researching your abilities I must say that I stand corrected. Bravo on your fantastic ability.
Folks, heβs not kidding. They really have a knack for lacing foot apparel. Iβm in awe.
Narrator: "They did."
i learned a new shoe-tying technique and try to share it with others when theyβre game
I'm all ears. I usually just tie mine like a regular square knot
do the final cross in the opposite direction and they will never accidentally come undone

Iβve used this for years but I have a pretty high rate of asymmetry. Itβs still a lot quicker to just quickly fix that than do it the way I was taught so I keep doing it.
Maybe I should practice doing it symmetrically instead of assuming I will always lopside it though
Ian's Shoelace Site, baby!! I was doing granny knots for years before I found him.
There's actual a great, short TED talk on tying shoes and the strong form of the typical knot used.
