I can't tie my shoes

I know how to tie shoes, but these can't be tied. Size 9.5, perfectly average.

Not with that attitude you can't.

That's so crazy, I can't tie your shoes either

OP, we should be friends. I can tie my shoes, but apparently my knots are so bad, they come undone in like 30 steps. I have complained for years about being four years old because of my shoes.

I can't wear Vans anymore, but I have a lovely pair of Lems that look pretty close to the ones pictured. Cheers, mate

I've been using the Ian Knot from that site for years. I always used to struggle with other methods since I have fat clumsy fingers but this is just a flip twist and pull so I can tie my shoes in like 3 seconds per.

I've come to the point where I don't think I could use the "normal" method if I tried. This site is a gem. I also enjoy the different lacing methods that are listed,

I also only recently learned of this, but with a bow tie, both of its knots have a handedness and you need to use a different handedness for each knot or they will keep coming undone.

Look at this!

That's funny because these shoes don't even have laces.

And with the ubiquity of slipons, you never have to!
