i've been using this knot for years, and it's great. i dream of some day teaching my kids to tie their shoes with this knot, and then having them explain to the other kids in class why their system trumps the standard methods.

taking iterative improvement literally i see. :)

You know a shoelace knot is good when you decide to have kids specifically to increase the knot's chance of survival.

I was going to post my endorsement in this thread, but it would have basically been a copy and paste of this one.. Just with capital letters.

I use the quick knot for my every day shoes with cloth laces, and the secure knot with boots and difficult laces.

Ian is great.

I agree. I've been using this knot for a few years now and like it a lot. It's really fun to amaze my young cousins at how quickly this knot can be tied.

... only to find they use velcro fasteners and then later self tightening twist laces (little prediction for you based on memory materials).
