My favorite shoelace knot is berluti knot.

https://www.bestshoe99.in/how-to-tie-shoelaces/

It is symmetrical, it looks beautiful, it takes about as much time to tie and it has exactly zero chance of untying itself.

It has never failed me since I learned it.

The Berluti knot looks a lot like "Ian's secure knot" mentioned in other threads: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

It is also the same as the Turquoise Turtle knot, mentioned by Brian Toss in his great book, "The Rigger's Apprentice". He discovered it in a clothing store of that name.

The Berluti knot traces back into European aristocracy.

Ian's secure knot neglects to tuck one of the loose ends - it's not as secure.

I have The Complete Rigger's Apprentice on my bookshelf.

The Turquise Turtle Knot is described on page 357 and it is similar, but not the same as Berluti knot.
