The Runner's Knot - Why and How to Tie

The Runner's Knot, I love this knot for my running shoe experience. I first learned about the runner's knot from a kind floor worker at Runner's Roost in Denver Colorado. They took the time to share with me the benefit of tying a runner's knot, so as to avoid any slipping in the heel. Slipping in the heel is the absolute worse experience and feeling for all runners. Since I really love running on the trails in the summer time, it is important to maintain a lock down feel throughout the heel and collar of the running shoe. If you have any questions about how to tie the runner's knot, or the runner's loop, ask away in the comments below and I will be happy to assist you. Thanks again for watching this daily running vlog.

QD (a year later): I bought my third pair of Hoka’s the other week (Clifton 7s) and the heel felt loose. The guy at Runnulla asked if I do a runners knot? I looked at him funny and he got down and tied my shoe for me and wow, soooo nice! My 11yr old said it was cute to see someone teach his dad how to tie his shoes! 😂

[flyderay]

i was almost about to throw away my asics kayanos because of the slipping in the heel, turns out i wasn't lacing it correctly
saved me 160$

The Runner's Knot has proven ESSENTIAL to my running since high school(15 years). Without the knot my soleus muscle and occasionally the medial head of my gastrocnemius get unbearably tight and fatigued while running. Causing prolonged recovery periods that cripple training. Symptom of my skinny ankles and my running mechanics I suppose...Anyway, GREAT JOB sharing this golden nugget of running wisdom! Truly enjoying your channel.

[nxcmment]

I’m training for my first 5k and this made running feel so much more secure because of the ankle staying down. Thank you so much!

I am a master carpenter/joiner I have been shown many many trade secrets from when I was a kid learning my trade skills that I'd never seen, so when someone says they have a much better way of doing something I've learnt to give it a try rather than my way is the best and only way. So I have just put the runners knot in my Nike Air sequent 2s and I absolutely love it to bits mate this has got to be the best thing I've been shown for years and when I'm just popping out over the shop I just tuck the ends down inside my trainers and they stay quite tight great tip muka thanks Paul (wolves).

3:15 is where this video should have started IMHO.

[levandmarthapolyakin-aaron]

Just discovered this! And it solves an additional problem of many of my shoes: overly long laces 🤬which drive me nuts. I can’t wait to try this!

[GianniSeghers]

Crazy how many people don't know this... It's a GAME CHANGER!!! Thanks for the great content!!!! Cheerz from Swiss...

[zmanbball]

Love this. I have never heard of a runner’s knot, and now I’m doing it. I have not needed the extra tension in the heel, but the better fit around my ankle is perfect for securing laces and getting those out of the way. I already feel less annoyed. THANK YOU.

[LAUREL]

I absolutely LOVE the Runner's Knot. It helps give that secure feel to my narrow heels. I learned it from the GOOD FEET STORE while I was being fitted for orthotics. I was a CC runner, back in the day. Having flat feet and now a ghost knee injury from running miles past, I no longer run but enjoy swimming, yoga and pilates, and of course an occasional hike through the woods. Love your motto! So many types of beauty underlie our world and individual existence. Training myself to recognize true beauty everywhere, every day.

[rodfriesen]

I just tried it. I'm a trail runner using altra shoes. I did this knot on the right shoe, normal on the left. Wow! Big difference. I'm a convert!

[radhizil]

Yes and it was great. It's prevent the slippage around the heel area and shoes feel more snug.

[JoshuaStone]

I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to thank you for improving the fit of my shoes. I didn’t know about this and have always thought I needed to size down and deal with crowded toes. This worked amazingly well.

[raysollarsthehappyjogger]

I came back to running 6 month ago and I had not heard of the runners knot. Thanks for the video. I will certainly try it out Seth.

[goodtoknow]

Seriously I never would have thought my feet can feel so good after running. Thank you thank you thank you

[langoypadyaktakbopilipinas]

I just learned the runner's know today after one year of running. Shoe laces on my Brooks Ghost is not long enough though. Thanks for this video, really nice to know.

[fredmendes]

I never tried the runners knot and it was the first time I see one. I tried on my pegasus 35, that I have a heel problem, and it was great, I didn't feel my heel loosened from the shoe. Thanks!!

[mohammedlabeeb]

I never heard of runners knot before, and I'm about to go run and use it. thanks for sharing.

[rickvaldivia]

Ran my first 5k in January 2020 in 32 minutes (not in dedicated running shoes mind you). Wasn't the fastest I know, but I'm more determined this year about running longer and getting faster on different terrain. I love your enthusiasm and encouraging words. Never heard of the runner's knot but I will use it from now on (your explanation was spot on). thank you Seth.

[pokemoncollectibles]

Wow. Mind blown. I was just about to cut my shoe laces cus they were way too long. With the runners tie it solved the problem and made the show more stable. Win win
