Comment on Ian's Is Still The Best Site For Tying Your Shoelaces

This is what the internet was for! I don’t give a damn about 500 ways to tie my shoelaces, but I’m glad this exists and is available to me, in case I change my mind.

I learned Ian’s Secure Knot because sometimes you get shoe laces that are slippery and never stay tied. The secure knot is way better than doing a double knot as you can easily untie it.
I also visit the site right after buying new shoes or boots and look up lacing patterns and pick something fun. I’m currently using Spider Web lacing.

The regular shoelace knot becomes insecure when you do starting knot and the butterfly in the same direction. This also causes your knot to rotate 90 degrees and not lay correctly on your shoe. If you do the starting knot backwards and the butterfly normally, then the knot is more secure and lays neatly on your shoe.
