How to tie your shoe laces

My buddy Theoretical Ken just posted what might be the most useful blog post I have ever come across! How to tie your shoes so they don’t come undone, YET are easy to undo when you want to take them off!

Yes, you can do a double knot, but that is a pain to get undone. This simple modification on how to tie your shoes is easy to teach to a kid (Jake got it the first time) and easy for them to undo too.

This will be very useful to me when I go running with gators on top of my boots/shoes. It is such a pain to have to re-tie laces when they are under a gator.

My life is now complete. Come get me lord ;-)
