I switched to the secure knot after finding this site a few years ago https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

It's really excellent, my shoes never come untied and I don't have to double-knot

I'm more of a Surgeon's Knot[0] guy, myself. Just like a "regular" shoelace knot, with one easy-to-remember twist. I don't recall that knot having ever come loose without my intentional untying. Great for ultramarathons when the last thing I want to do after 40 miles is bend over to tie a shoelace. (Especially if I'm wearing Altra shoes, whose laces I'd swear are coated in Teflon and come undone if I look at them too hard.)

I tie it that way too, but as that page points out, it's the same knot:

> The whole twisted mess of the previous drawing will rearrange itself into exactly the same finished knot as my Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot.
