Barely related, but if you haven’t learned how to tie shoelaces instantly, you should:

I’ve been doing this for nearly 20 years.

I had to use the secure knot: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

Not sure why, but single knots always come undone for me pretty quickly - including the Ian Knot you linked. I used to do a double knot and now the secure Ian Knot.

This. I've been tying my shoes this way for 15 or 20 years and they essentially never come untied unintended while still being able to be pulled open with just a single tug. The security of a double knot with the convenience of the standard knot.
