chevysoldier Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 And apparently you have too! I saw this on wimp.com and had to try it out. It really seems to work and be a stronger knot. I showed my wife how I tie my shoes and she comments "You tie them like a leftie." I'm right handed. I need to find out if my older sister taught me how to tie shoes. lol I also have a problem with my work boots coming untied often so now I am gonna try this out. Takes some getting used to though....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAFcV7zuUDA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 when i was a kid i was too stupid to unstand the whole loop thing...so i dont tie my knots either of those waysi do the first part, then when you make the one loop and go around it, i actually make two loops and then knot them together....it looks the same when its completed, it just isnt tied in either of those ways lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 i have always done it the strong way because i always hated when the bow goes up and down, i figured out when i was about 10 that by going over instead of under it would make the bow go the right way, i never realized it was a better knot, i just hated when the knot was sideways. i was a bit OSD when i was younger and still am kinda lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have velcro shoes to avoid all of this BS. Plus I don't have to worry about my laces getting caught in the bike chain and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buxnut Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I guess its good to know that I have been tying my shoes the correct way all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 i always double knotted after i made the bow. I would only have to tie my shoes maybe once a month it was awesome in school though I currently where cowboy steel toe boots all the time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 So does my dad. Sounds like a smart guy. I used to wear lace up shoes when I mountain biked in NY. It only took one time for the lace to get caught up in the spindle before I switched to velcro shoes. Can't imagine getting a lace caught in the sprocket of one of the bikes. On longer trips I have real foot ware so no tennis shoes needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) when i was a kid i was too stupid to unstand the whole loop thing...so i dont tie my knots either of those waysi do the first part, then when you make the one loop and go around it, i actually make two loops and then knot them together....it looks the same when its completed, it just isnt tied in either of those ways lolThat's actually a better way in my opinion. It stays tied longer for me.Some one taught me that, they called it a "baby knot", for tying baby shoes. Because baby shoes get untied all the time.I used the strong side knot before. I did not know it could be done a weak side way, so that the stupid loops went up and down instead of side to side. I still learn something new everyday.edit: wait, just tried it... the two loops together can be done two ways also. Strong and weak...So there are four ways to tie your shoes...

JStump Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I always peeled from the top. Wow, I'm gonna have to try that, I can usually get it open from the top but sometimes it ends up all smashed from me bending the top back and forth lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
