Reply to comment by brs123456 in LPT: how to make shoes with lace not become untied all the time? by LovableButterfly

This is the correct answer. I no longer double knot when I do this trick. I learned how to properly tie my shoes at like 25 and it was a life changer. For anyone reading, itll be easier to look up on YouTube what were talking about. In ELI5 language, have the bunny go the other way around the tree.

If you put tension on the knot(pull your shoe open a bit), the wrong way to tie it will have the bows will want to go parallel with the length of the shoe, if it's the correct way it will want to go perpendicular to the length of your shoe

Yeah it's a stronger knot AND it's more symmetric with the shoe.
