Why button up a shirt? Or tie a tie? In fact...let's all just walk around nude!
Eh? How does that compare?
1) We button up shirts because it would be rude to flash our chests in work
2) We tie up a tie, because how else is it going to stay on (maybe a clip?)
3) Shoe laces end knots can be tied and hidden inside the shoe, and the remainding cut off, so you can slip them on everyday and not have to tie them up (although totally depends if we are talking casual shoes), IE you wouldnt do them with formal shoes, although if you didnt want to lace up formal shoes, then dont buy laced ones and buy slip ons (which are much better)

The Ian knot is good but the secure Ian knot is the way to go with the thinner dress shoe laces.
Been using it for a few years now and never once has it failed me!

Slightly fiddly at first but worth learning.

As as probably been already posted, you need to tie them up correctly in the first place to avoid them coming undone.
Quite simply, both parts of the knot have to be tied in the same direction.
If the first part is left over right, then the bow must also be left over right. The final knot must look horizontal, rather than vertical.
