Do your shoelaces come undone often?

[laissez-faire]

Hi - well lately I've become more interested in knots and I notice that so many people when they tie a shoelace or a bow tie the knot doesn't sit straight it sits almost at a right angle. This is why:

Shouldn't a sailor such as yourself know exactly the right knot for every occasion?

I tuck mine inside my shoes once they are tied so they look tidy, although if I'm wearing pumps I just leave them alone as they just fall forward in the knot.

One would hope - hence my interest in them

I leave my shoes tied loosely so that i can slip them on and off without having to bother tying them. Last time they came undone was about 2 months ago... that was the event of the day

I just tie a knot in each lace at a suitable length, so the lace cant go through the eyelet. and basically just walk about with em loose

 

[geekyEd]

i dont tie my laces at all unless im going to the gym, Ii still tuck away though to keep everything out of the way.

As above I think you need help.

I have velcro shoes because I'm special.

If I was drunker, I'd find that more interesting. However, I agree with ^

My shoes dont have laces. Slip ons for the win

I found the Ian knot interesting; might try and start using it more.

Yeah, but these days I don't think the Navy (I'm assuming the OP is in the Navy given your comment) relies too much on knots. A very useful skill to have but sadly it's an art that is dying out.

So sad.

Aye it's KNOT an essential skill.

Speaking of of knots...


There were three pieces of rope wandering in the desert. They were very hot and thirsty. They came upon a bar and one went in. He asked for a drink and the bartender said, 'read the sign buddy we don't serve ropes.'

'Oh come on just this once', the rope asked again. The bartender said 'nope', so the rope left. The second rope figured he was a bit better looking and maybe the bartender would soften a little and let him have a drink. He went in and asked for a drink, the bartender shook his head and said 'Hey Buddy, it's just like I told your friend we don't serve ropes here.' Dejected the rope left the bar.

The 3rd rope heard both of their stories, thought for a moment. Then he rolled himself into a knot and fluffed the edges so it was a little frayed. The third rope went into the bar like this and asked for a drink.

The bartender asked, 'Hey are you a rope?' The 3rd rope looked down at himself and said 'Nope, I am a frayed knot!'
