I recently learned how to tie my shoes all by myself

Ok, i decided to have a look at that vid. I must have some kinda rare form of dyslexia, because i can't tell the difference. I tried tying the laces both ways, and both ways they look pretty neat to me. So i'll stick with double tying...

Alternatively, when you tie the knot, just try pulling it tight! ::)
Cakemeister:
I guess runners tend to be anal-rententive.

The funny thing about rolling your eyes is that you are wrong. Pulling a granny knot tight won't solve the problem because the knot loosens itself of its own accord. Trust me--I'm an expert on this. I have 25 years of experience. A reef knot is self-tightening so it won't come untied unless the lace is pulled (or snagged). A granny knot, no matter how tight you make it, will work its way loose just from walking. And since the reef knot is exactly the same as easy to tie as a granny knot, it is asinine to "solve" the problem by tying a tighter granny knot. It's actually less effort to tie your shoe correctly to begin with.

My shoes are loose enough that I don't ever tie them but on rare occasions when they finally become too loose. I just slip them on. I love it.
But I've been doing reefs my life when I do retie them.
