Everyone knows how to tie their shoelaces.
Well, that's what we all believe.
Because it seems that no one actually knows how to tie their shoes properly.
It's not me saying it, it's Terry Moore.
He seems to know about shoelaces, his video on TED has been viewed over 2 million times!
Terry explains that there is a little trick that makes your shoelaces last longer.
Just use a stronger knot. Look, it's very simple and super effective:
I tried and indeed it works. My shoelaces last much longer.
No need to repeat them several times a day.
The only difference between his method and the one everyone knows is the way to encircle the loop.
1. Start the knot as usual.
2. Then simply pass the lace in the other direction around the loop.
3. Finally, pull the knot to get a strong shoelace.
In addition to holding longer, it is also more aesthetic. The lace stays in place better on the shoe.
There you go, now your laces will last a long time :-)
Simple, practical and effective!
No need to stop every 5 minutes to retie your shoelaces. Think about it too for lacing children's shoes!
