My most comfortable shoes have slippery laces. For years I have simply tied the loops in an extra overhand knot to keep the laces from coming loose, and then had to fiddle with the knot afterwards when I wanted to untie it.

No more! I took 5 minutes to learn to tie a Better Bow Knot. It never comes loose (based on a week’s worth of testing) and yet I can undo it by simply pulling at the free ends, like with a normal bow not.

Why did I wait so long to spend those 5 minutes?
