> Fun fact: the square knot is also how you already tie your shoelaces!
Uhh, in theory. In practice no one knows how to tie their laces any more. I can go days and see nothing but granny knots and self-invented tangle (and I sneak photos to document such).
This seems to be an international issue, as well. Foreign nationals fare no better than we Yankees in my observations.
I don't know when this happened—the application of velcro in kid's shoes?—but it's definitely a real thing.
Be warned: once you start to look at people's shoes ... it's like a bad dream.
(p.s. Ian's Shoelace Site is a great resource and the double bunny ears knot (aka "Ian's Knot") is a life changer once you start to use it everydsy. I refer to it as the "All-day knot" since the added bight makes it last all day.
