I've been tying Ian's "world's fastest shoelace knot" for a few years now. It took me about a week or two to get comfortable with it and it really is amazingly fast.

It's interesting to experience your brain relearning a habit that has become so ingrained. Reminds me of the Smarter Everyday backward bike episode [1]. In fact, I just tried to tie my old 2 loop knot and accidentally tied Ian's knot again.

And if you truly want speed, just buy elastic shoe laces. After getting them, I never looked back

Yep, I've always found shoelaces incredibly... I don't know how to put it, but it's incredible how the existence of elastics is overlooked in the production of shoe fasteners!

I use elastic shoelaces that are always tied. I can put my shoes on in half a second and run out the door and there's no way they're coming off even when I'm running.
