This one, that I just started.

The commenter after me ties their shoelaces very well, and I’m 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, he’s not kidding. They really have a knack for lacing foot apparel. I’m in awe.

i learned a new shoe-tying technique and try to share it with others when they’re 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

I’ve used this for years but I have a pretty high rate of asymmetry. It’s 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.
