This has been GAME CHANGING for the past few weeks. Thanks Sarah!!!

Amy Watson

As a person who always double-knots their shoelaces, my life has been forever changed. Thanks Sarah!

My husband has a completely different way that is very fast and doesn't involve double loops or knots but never comes untied. He taught himself (too impatient to wait for his parents to teach him). Unfortunately, I can't describe it. However, a friend of mine showed me how to tie my shoes by taking the second loop around the back of the first loop rather the front, and it works equally well.

Hi it's the Ebony here, and I'd just like to say, I no longer watch TED talks or tie my shoes and take a slightly longer route to college EVERY day...... my life is GREAT now 10/10 would ask for advice again. Thank you for the advice John and Sarah. Only sad you missed my name specific sign off :(

It was a reference to 'Ebony and Ivory, live together in perfect harmony, side by side on the piano keyboard' I guess it might not be know outside the UK 🤔 And may even be more niche than that...

I got your name specific sign off and wondered why they did not catch it! I thought it was very clever. :)

In my family we call this the "special knot" and it was taught to my mom by a very patient and kind shoe salesman.

Madison Gray

What? WHAT? I came here for the better shoe tying method but I ALREADY DO THIS. I had no idea other people didn't do this. My life is a lie.

Jo Roe

I do this, have always called it double-tying or double-knot. Mine still come untied eventually, though. :-(

I just listened to this episode the other day and misunderstood the directions, so I did this instead... <a href="https://youtu.be/Jgmmrnw4Jh8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Jgmmrnw4Jh8</a> But it worked really well!! Didn't come untied on my extra long work day, but was easy to untie at the end of the day. Will try this method tomorrow and compare.
