Secure Way Of Tying Shoe Laces

[kirimikium]

Could you use black laces with black boots, so there's no contrasting, making it really hard to see anything? Thanks.

Sean, thanks for posting this video response to my recent post. I was amazed when I learned this method how simple it was. I was so frustrated to think I spent 30+ years tying and retying LOL. I also never have to deal with my kids' shoes coming apart anymore. Anyway, I've seen your vids before and just subscribed to your channel. I did a video on a way to use paracord to transform a wool blanket into a hoodie based on your similar video. Follow me on Twitter, like facebook.. I'll do same!

But if you use a "turquoise turtle" knot and then double knot the loops, they **really** won't come untied. I trust that when riding on a motorcycle, and there's nothing like wind and brush to test a shoelace knot. --Keith

Sean, do you ever double knot the loops with the knot you tie?

[seanmulhall]

@Tedzy

No never. They do not come untied unless I want them to.

[michelb08]

I have tied them the normal way always for as I learned to do so and they never came loose eighter too :-)

[JimboJitsu]

nice, would have been handy when I was working in the woods. Even a double knot would get undone.

[KonstantinKuehn]

wow this is very cool!

[SpartanJohns]

good information

[nedeljkomostar]

[mwig50]

My Grandfather once told me a story of when he was guarding a warehouse in Germany just after the war, he was sat with his back to a piller nodding off when he felt something slowly going up his boot then down again, on looking down he spotted a hand, jumping to his feet and reaching for his rifle he spun round a saw a Gurkha who had crept up behind him and was checking to see if he was German or British by the way his laces were tied. Straight across for Brit and crisscross for the Bosh.

[littlegreenwon]

Sean, you've been tying those boots for 20 years, or tying the knot for 20 years? If those boots have lasted you 20 years I would be very interested in getting a pair!

[vh2k]

@littlegreenwon That's what I was thinking as well

[cam131313cam]

i just gave it a go and all i can say is after 19 years of doing something its hard to change :)

[Trailtraveller]

Very nice !

[SurviveN2]

Interesting....I've never seen either of those ways. Cool, thanks for sharing. Take Care :-))

[bikemessenger7]

cant wait to try that out! interesting vid my friend. yours earl

[TheBeebopper]

Does your secure tying ever stick when it has become saturated?

[seanmulhall]

@TheBeebopper

No, not so far. Simply pulling the loose end releases the whole knot.

[007vauxhall]

Good idea, Cheers Sean :-)
