I recently learned how to tie my shoes all by myself

If you've been doing it wrong (as I have for more than 25 years), the next few minutes of your life will change it in a small, but kind of awesome way.*

I followed that and I have been tying it right (reef knot) yet they still look like a granny knot and come undone while walking.  I do a non slip knot that starts with starting knot with two passes which holds the lace more securely for the second part of the knot as shown in the video.

I think it depends on the lace and how tight you tie your shoes, versus the type of knot.

I tie them loose so the laces later on wag and loosen out.

Anyone recommend replacement laces for sneakers and formal shoes that do not slip?

Well I've been tying granny knots and switching to the reef knot has been night and day.  I used to tie my shoes over and over and over and over.  I'd frequently stop to tie my shoe and fifteen minutes later stop to tie the same shoe again.  If I was ever in a situation where I really didn't want my shoes coming untied I would double-knot them. 

I saw this video a week or two ago.  Now I usually tie my shoes one time in the morning and untie them when I take them off at night.  Nothing more.
