Learning to tie my shoelaces at the exact length where you can easily slip the feet in and out but the shoes won't fall off. Buy shoes, tie once, 1000x return.

- t6jvcereio 4y agoI always wondered. Those people who get hit by a car and their shoes fly off their mangled body while they're being thrown up in the air like a Roman in an Asterix comic... - what kind of a sloppy job are they doing tying their shoe laces? Turns out, they're looking for 1000x returns in shoe lace tying.

- jnxx 4y agoThe answer is as cruel as the situation. You need to lace your shoes only so that the laces carry the weight of the shoe, plus a bit of extra force when you are running. That force is mass of the shoe, times acceleration, so it is only a little extra force, compared to their weight. If you are hit by a car, your body is subject to extreme accelerations, many many times more than the normal gravity. You can observe that when you watch videos from crash tests. And these G forces slip off the shoes.
- austinjp 4y agoI feel that elasticated shoelaces, and reinforced inner heel lining to minimise wear and extend lifespan, might elevate this to sublime levels.
- konfusinomicon 4y agogo for the straight lace with hidden knot, it's a game changer
