Secure Your Laces: Make a Non-Slip Shoelace Knot in Under 10 Seconds
Tired of tying your shoelaces again and again? Whether you’re running, hiking, or just walking around, a shoelace that won’t stay tied is a constant annoyance. Here’s a quick and foolproof shoelace knot you can tie in less than 10 seconds — and it won’t come undone all day.
👟 Why Regular Knots Fail
Most people tie a basic “bunny ear” or standard knot. These knots work fine for light use but tend to loosen during movement because they rely too much on tension rather than friction.
🪢 The Solution: Non-Slip Shoelace Knot
This knot is widely used by runners, gym-goers, and even military personnel. It holds tight — and it’s easy!
🧑🔧 How to Tie It — Step-by-Step
Step 1: Start with a Normal Knot
- Cross the laces and pull them tight — just like starting any regular shoelace tie.
Step 2: Make Your Loops
- Make a loop (bunny ear) with each lace.
Step 3: Double Wrap Before Pulling
- Instead of wrapping once, wrap one loop twice around the other before pulling tight.
Step 4: Pull Tight
- Pull both loops to secure. The double friction prevents it from loosening easily.
🧠 Bonus Tip
If your laces are slippery (like in running shoes or dress shoes), use flat laces instead of round ones — they hold better.
🧪 Tested: It Works!
