Comment on For every 30 minutes theres a 50% chance my right shoe lace will come undone

Slight difference in how you are trying your knots? Starting knot may be reversed. Does the bow sit naturally across the shoe or does it lay unnaturally vertically down the length of the shoe? I recommend learning the Ian’s knot

For slippery shoelaces that seem to come undone all the time, I’m so happy I learned Ian’s Secure Knot. It’s very strong, but still comes undone easily only if you pull on both of the lace endings at the same time. Pulling on one end won’t cause the knot to come undone. Once you’re practiced, it only takes a bit longer to tie than a regular shoelace knot.

Learned this over 10 years ago and now it’s the only way I tie my shoes. Life changing.

Yes! It’s easy to untie unlike a double knot. Unties fast but only if you do it intentionally.
