I recently learned how to tie my shoes all by myself

Haven't bothered clicking that link. They make shoes laces quite long nowadays, so i just double tie them. They never come undone  :dunno

Thenasty:
I always wondered why my laces comes loose all the time. I'm using GRANNY STYLE  :banghead:
I'm gonna practice this REEF (while smoking a riffer) knot.  :P

I tie a reef knot, but loop it around twice in Step 3 of the video.  The knot still comes undone with a simple pull of the loose end, but will not come undone at all through normal shoe usage.  It stays on much better, and is a small change to make the knot tighter, doesnt bulk it up like a double knot.

Someone showed me that in Junior high, and Ive tied my shoes like that ever since.

CCM:
People really have this much of an issue with tying their shoes  ???   I've been tying my own shoes for well over 30 years now and never really had a problem. 

shmokes:
That's probably because you happen to tie a reef knot.  Unless you were originally taught to tie your shoes by someone who specifically knows the difference between a reef and granny knot, your chances of tying one over the other are 50/50.  They are tied in virtually the same way and they look virtually the same.  Even if you learn to tie your shoes from someone who ties a reef knot you are just as likely to tie a granny knot, and the person teaching you will say, "Good job!  You got it!"
