How do you do it? I've been using it for more than a decade too and I can't make it that solid. I'm very active and clumsy so I'm really stressing the knot lots of times.

Try doing a double knot. There's a double starting knot shown:

And then also a surgeons knot is shown:

(which doesn't use the double starting knot)

I do both together, starting with two twists and then also wrapping the loops twice.

I experimented with the double knot following some foot pain; the advantage for me is that the knot doesn't really slip any, allowing me to set the tension I want and not have to revisit it. I guess you then also have to make sure not to over-tighten.

I read about it here: https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/running-doc-d...
