I recently learned how to tie my shoes all by myself
danny_galaga:
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.

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!"
