How To Tie The Berluti Knot | Step By Step Guide | Kirby Allison

I still receive lots of requests from people wanting to learn how to tie the Berluti knot. This special knot is one of my favorites, taught to me by a good friend of mine from Paris, that learned this knot from Olga Berluti, the architect of this knot. The knot is a very symmetrical figure 8 loop, that lies flat, looks elegant, but most importantly stays tight all day long, so you don't have to worry about your shoelaces coming untied during the day.

For more information on Berluti, why not watch our workshop tours that we filmed while in Paris, exploring the incredible shoes that they produce there.

From kirby's short a while back, I now tie my dress, hiking, and sports shoes with this knot. It is a game changer. Kids are trying to learn it too.

Berluti shoe knots and Old Bertie tie knots have both become my go-to's thanks to your channel!

I am glad you made this video again.
Cause all my shoelaces keep coming loose

[isabellas]

Thank you for making my life better one knot at a time.

[juancarlosrodriguez]

Thank you Kirby. Now I am using this knot and I got the proficiency to make it very quick. It is that kind of detail that nobody talk about it but most people notice it.

I love the Parisian knot! Always do it now for either my "sneakers" or dress shoes. Such a wealth of knowledge! Looking forward to your video from Cuba.

When it came to ties, I was a half-windsor man until I came across Kirby's wonderful videos. Now for the shoes it seems... :)

Kirby, thank you for this video! I used this knot to tie my daughter’s sneakers this morning before school. Not only did it look amazing and lay flat as depicted, but it remained nice and tight all day. She loved it!

[dashcamcalifornia]

As I went to time I tennis shoes the other day I went to think about this not and here you go reposting this video thanks Kirby for all the good knowledge 🤘

[mohammadheydari]

Wow! Actually it was quite easy! Did it on first shot. Thank you for this awesome knot!
Actually I’ve seen it before but never knew it is something special! I guess from now on I can hear who shouts “I am sophisticated” with his shoe knots, and I’ll shout back. 😄

I learned this about 2 years ago and since my laces never untie on their own. Thank you

[thomash.]

This was so helpful. Not only it looks good it holds so amazing. I strongly recommend to try it on hiking boots.

Love the blue herringbone jacket with the green tie.

[turn-me-later]

I learned this from you before and this is so useful!

Beautiful and delicious as usual Kirby. Please come to England and book a day on driven English partridge, far superior to pheasant and good practice for driven grouse. You’ve never shot game well till you’ve faced grouse dear boy especially with a good wind behind them. Absolutely fallen in love with your channel Kirby, keep going sir, please do.

[douglasmstewart]

All of the sudden I have this urge to tie my shoes differently.

[lusinemichele]

Thank you Kirby, it was so awesome and interesting.

[roberthoffhines]

I think the first of your vids I came across had a tutorial on these. Good to re-do, because it's a great and better yet...EASY knot to tie. If you care for your shoes, they deserve to look the best the can, and this know does. And it never comes undone! If it still wants to twirl on you, reverse the first over-hand lower portion of the knot. It may take twice as long as the ol' bunny ears...so you go from 5 to like, 11 seconds...you CAN lean to live with that, lol.

I’ve been waiting for this in depth video, Kirby. Definitely worth getting you a whiskey in the MacMillan Bar!

Love the way the piano music builds up as the knot progresses: great video editing.
