A few years ago I switched from the "Granny Knot" to the "Ian Knot" [0] in order to (1) eliminate the need for "double knotting" and (2) straighten the bow. Despite the few embarrassing times early in the process where friends observed me struggling to tie my shoes, I can confidently say the switch has been worth it.

I've been using the Ian knot since around 2005 and it's easily the most impactful "life hack" I've ever made. My shoes basically never come untied.

Doesn’t it still produce the same knot as the standard shoe tie knot? I thought it was just a faster method?

Yes. I'd guess he means Ian's Secure Knot, which I also now use.

Is it easy to do a tight Ian's Secure Knot? The only place I would need a more secure knot is when skiing and then I also need to tie the laces very tight. Keeping the laces tight while creating the loops seems slightly difficult.

I'm not sure if it works in this context, but I tie a knot equivalent to Ian's Secure Knot, asymmetrically.

I use the standard "bunny goes around the tree" methodology, except I go around twice before pulling the loop through both.

It might be easier for your use case, because you can hold the knot with one hand while sending the bunny around the tree with the other.

That's called the Better Bow on the site.

It's the one I use with my paracord laces.

Never comes undone.
