I've been using the Ian knot for many years, to the point I'm now very slow making the normal knot. I find the Ian knot effective enough, but I think it comes undone more easily than a normal shoelace knot, I had to tie my shoes a lot back when I was outside for many hours of the day and night.

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the end result of the Ian knot is supposed to be identical to the standard shoelace knot, see https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknottech.htm https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknottech.htm. There is also https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm. There is a handy listing of which knots are actually different towards the bottom of this page: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/knotcomparison.htm#identical:~:text=loop.-,Identical%20Finished%20Knot https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/knotcomparison.htm#identica...
