Tie my shoe?  Didn't I learn to do that as a kid? Sure, we all did.  But my mom taught us to tie our shoes with a "double knot" that will not come loose in normal wear, but can be untied but simply pulling the two lace ends at the same time.  I have created this easy step-by-step guide with photos, in hopes that you too, will find this a geat alternative to the other methods used!

Step-By-Step Method

  • With the shoe on foot, pull laces to a comfortable tightness.

  • Hold right and left lace in corresponding hands

  • Place left lace over right lace

  • Drawn left lace through loop

  • Pull both laces tight

 

 

  • With lace now held in left hand, create a loop, like a rabbit ear

  • With lace held in right hand, draw over and around left loop

  • With forefinger of right hand, push right lace through middle loop creating another "rabbit ear" loop

  • Shift left loop to right hand and pull the right loop through center loop with left hand

  • Pull loop (now in left hand) up sufficiently to allow entire loop to be wrapped around loop now held in right hand

  • Push left loop through center hole

  • Pull both loops tight

  • You're DONE!!!
