Ian's Shoelace Site - Shoelace Knots - How To Tie Your Shoes
This is simply an amazing website. Everyone knows how to tie their shoes, but do they know 16 different ways to do it? I have recently become enamored of Ian's Secure Knot. I'm still kind of shocked that at this stage of my life I am learning to tie my shoes all over again. I used to just do the regular knot, then double knot the remaining loops which is indeed a secure method. But untying them was a pain. With this "new" way, it is even more secure and you can untie them with a simple pull on one lace. Incredible. (via BoingBoing.)
