Tying laces

A couple of years ago, a woman working the shoe section at our local REI taught us how to tie a lace so it never comes undone. All those years, and the best I had was a double knot. Which helps, but isn’t a guarantee. Her method: get to the bunny ears, same as always. Then, before you pull them into the final knot, give each ear one extra turn around the other before cinching it tight. Here’s a video tutorial. It’s been a gift ever since. I wish I’d learnt it as a kid.
