Why YSK: The granny knot is the most common reason as to why show laces seem to be undone so easily. It’s caused when the Starting Knot & Finishing Bow don’t “balance” each other. Recognizing this can help you make your shoe knots much more secure.

Edit: (BTW, YSK the website as well. It’s a really good resource for tying and lacing shoes)

    Ohh man my shoes gradually untying during the day have been bugging me for years! Always assumed it was because I was tying them in a hurry…
    Just checked and sure enough I’ve been making granny knots all this time. Can’t believe I never thought to look it up 😅
    Thank you so much!
