I'm more of a Surgeon's Knot[0] guy, myself. Just like a "regular" shoelace knot, with one easy-to-remember twist. I don't recall that knot having ever come loose without my intentional untying. Great for ultramarathons when the last thing I want to do after 40 miles is bend over to tie a shoelace. (Especially if I'm wearing Altra shoes, whose laces I'd swear are coated in Teflon and come undone if I look at them too hard.)

- mikestew 3y agoDamn, caught red-handed not reading TFA that I posted! I did glance at the Ian's version for sanity, but somehow missed that part in the link I posted; thanks.
