Ian's knot is also the one I use, the secure knot is more resilient, but the fact that Ian's knot works despite being so fast and looking like a magic trick never fails to make me smile, it's an instant of glee every time I tie my shoes.

The problem is that I've now forgotten how to tie a normal shoelace knot. It's similar to how I can't remember an oft-used password unless I can use a keyboard and see what my fingers are typing.

I didn't learn till I was a teen(I was taught several times, but have never been a fan of non-sandals so always forgot within a day or two).

Then I found what it actually is, it's a doubly slipped square knot, a square knot is right over left and left over right, and slipped versions are usually just finishing with a loop that goes back the way it came, so I can figure it out from the much easier to memorize verbal description.
