As we were recently informed by the BBC, the mystery of why shoelaces come undone has been unravelled by science.

However, perhaps you would like to benefit from the promise of the Tibetan Trekking Knot or the Berluti Shoelace Knot? Go no further than Ian’s Shoelace Site, courtesy of Professor Shoelace, aka Ian Fieggen.

I just double bow mine, always stops them coming apart.
That's NOT like a double knot.
I ought to do a video to explain it, but maybe tomorrow 😁

What an awesome site.
I did know about political shoelace colors (at least here in Germany), but who would have tought there are political knots?! Soo cool, thank you for posting!

Political knots? Our politicians tie themselves up in them constantly. :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Thanks Emma!
Something else to worry about weight of pack can I find my way, can I tie my shoelaces. But I do fancy the surgeons knot. Do I have to buy two pairs of laces to get the different colours so I can tie the blessed things, or am I missing something?

Does this mean that the fashion police will be looking at how I tie my shoelaces this year?:flag-bb:

Thanks Emma...it's good to know we have a scientist on side!

William, my understanding is that The Fashion Police are fairly relaxed about these matters.
