The Fastest Way To Tie Your Shoelaces #shorts

Great, now i can't remember how to tie my shoes at all. 😂

"That first knot is usually already there"
Idk, I usually have to tie that part myself. Never stumbled upon my shoes having half tied themselves in my absence.

I've taught myself this method after Matt Parker made a video about it years ago, I find it hard to do it the traditional way now.

[chris-hayes]

I got up at 2am to tie my shoes because this is the greatest discovery of the 21st century

[kevinocta]

I'm so used to the new method nowadays, that I literally can't tie it the old way! That's what I need a video for now...

[dillonventola]

The 6 hours I spent learning this is surely worth the 2 seconds I save!

This way of tying a bow has the added benefit of the loops and ends respectively being the same length in the end, which in the traditional way often doesn't work because the end that gets looped around the other ends up a little bit shorter. So if you want a pretty, perfectly even bow like for a present, use this method.

Fun fact, if you tie the bows backwards (left / right) from how the first twist naturally lays, the laces will come undone much easier. If you have laces that always seem to come undone you might be tying them backwards.

Finally, I can catch up on my friends when I stop to tie my shoes

I've done this method for 12+ years now. I don't even remember how to do it the other way. I saw someone in the mall do this, I asked him to show me. He called it his "Ninja shoe-tie style" 🤣 Thank you random man. You've changed my life.

[andor_yoko]

I've known how to do this way of tying shoes for a long time now, but if you ask me how then I can't explain how it's done

[Snwar]

i use this method for about 20 years^^ the salesman in a german shoeshop had it from like an internet tutorial with a native australian in it...
the main reason he explained was not to safe time, it was to stress both laces equally so one doesnt ripp off after years.

I have permanently shifted to this a few years ago. Best shoelace related decision I’ve ever made

[toddjal]

This was featured in Running Magazine years ago, something like 2008, and every review joked at the time that an article on how to tie laces was them running out of ideas. Meanwhile I always thought it was incredible and haven’t gone back to the old way ever since. Love it

[henrik.norberg]

THIS is what #shorts are for!
Not just spam with cut down versions! Once again you are showing the way to quality!

[Robert-cubm]

What he didn't say is, the traditional way you can get 2 different knots.

A granny knot or a reef knot.

Fun fact people if your laces keep coming loose and not perpendicular to your foot you're tying a granny knot.

Do this method or learn a reef knot.

I didn’t learn to tie my shoes until I was 8 years old. Velcro was the future and I had fully embraced it. My classmates had not.

[Steve-oxg]

My father met a shoe salesman at Nordstrom that had been doing that job for 25 years. He taught him a trick that he taught me that ive used ever since. If you loop it twice around before pulling it you have a knot that will never come undone and is just as easy to pull open. Its been a game changer for me. Ive never had a shoe come untied since learning this trick

[QuackTeamJames]

Did Matt show you this? I think he showed it off in a RI talk a few years ago, which is where I learned it. Honestly just the best way to tie shoes! Thanks fo spreading the word!

[kivlok]

I use this method aswell! But there is even more to it! The first part of tying your shoelaces where you cross the two ends can also be done with the same movement. The only difference is that you keep pulling on the two loops until you "untie" it. This motion will leave you at the stage where you start in your video. Double-purposed knotting motion!
