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

- maxerickson 6y agoTry doing a double knot. There's a double starting knot shown: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/doublestartknot.htm https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/doublestartknot.htm And then also a surgeons knot is shown: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/surgeonknot.htm https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/surgeonknot.htm (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.
