- j13n 3mo agoFirst thing I thought when I saw it being tied. "Hey, that's the Ian Knot!"
- adverbly 3mo agoThanks for sharing. That's an awesome site! I think its the same Knot. I really like Ian's Secure Knot too: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm
- taeric 3mo agoI've become a huge fan of the secure knot. Holds easily as well as any double knot I have ever seen, with the massive advantage of easy release.
- risico 3mo agoI've learned the Ian Knot almost 10 years ago and it still gives me a good smile when I use it every day. Feels like a proper life-hack. I also cannot help myself but look down at people that don't use it, shoelace normies.
- Melatonic 3mo agoThe lock lace method (I forget the "official" name) is also a huge game changer for footwear. Especially boots and taller stuff. You can use it to have looser / tigher "zones" or specific areas and optimise the fit of well fitting shoes and make shoes that dont fit temporarily useable. Also great for hiking when you might want a slightly looser toebox for general use and then tighten everything down when switching to a steep downhill sections. Also a game changer for snowboard boots and why I prefer traditional laces vs speed laces or boa systems. I can see why they are popular there though - most people wont be using fancier lacing techniques and have two adjustable zones (speed laces) is better than none.
