@Joshuacliftojm this makes more sense and is easier to relearn. Good comment.

Instead of reversing the direction of the wrap-around step of the loop-making stage of the bow as Terry says, you can switch which lace goes over and which goes under in the first stage of the bow. When I cross the laces (the very first step), I put the right lace below (closer to the toe) the left lace, so I have to reverse the direction of the wrap-around step to get a strong knot. When I put the right lace ABOVE the left, I can make the loop in my usual manner and still get the strong knot.

He gets a TED for giving an overly-complicated solution to a simple problem. The simple solution is to start with the initial overhand knot left over right, instead of right over left,as he does. After the initial left-over-right overhand, he can tie the rest of the knot as usual and wind up with the proper reef knot with release loops. I hope I didn't unchange his life.

Fuck this I will never be able to learn this fuck.

This is why I buy shoes that you dont have to tie

It's easier if you tie the first knot the other way around and then keep tying the bow the same way you always have done.
There is a better way to tie this knot too. Look up the Ian knot.

I'm left handed and i learned to tie my shoes just like that (the 2nd way). And others who did it wrong (also my 1st grade teacher) told me that i was wrong... Now i can stop being sad and concentrate to be awesome instead...
