My left shoe comes untied (but not the right one)?

[Dr. Nole]

Every day I have to retie my left shoe (sneaker) but never my right one...why?

The left becoming unhinged is not an uncommon occurrence.

South of the equator it would be the other one.

stepping on it with your right foot
your mom taught you to not drag your feet, should have listened.

 

[KitingHigh]

Ask someone to watch you tie them. Maybe you tie the right one correctly, but switch hands with one step of the left one, therefore making a granny knot. Or you just pull one tighter.

Conversely, the right is wound too tight.

Also LMAO

Next time you are sitting down, see if you happen to cross your feet with right foot rested on top of left. If so, that is likely the culprit. Your right foot over the course of a day keeps loosening the strings.

 

[GoNolesTX]

Left foot is longer than your right?

 

[BelemNole]

Cross your feet when you tie your shoes.

Soooo the right is sabotaging the left! Makes sense!

I think it’s the “Coriolis Effect”.

 

[squiffynole]

If you make the loops bigger so the end of the string is minimal you reduce loosening from the mechanical force of flapping. The other thing is to turn counter clockwise whenever possible.

Obviously left handed. Righty tighty, lefty loosy.

AIDS.

Consulted Stringy Leaks website and consensus seems to point to a long term guinira infection exacerbated by cheap socks. (Kinda gross, but is there visible puss on the strings?)

What is wrong with you poors?

That's a trick question your honor, Dr. Nole sleeps with his right shoe on.

Interesting. I make reef knots, but never thought about it.

True story here. I gave a guy a Sailing lesson that included knot tying. He saw me at oublix a couple of months later and commented how helpful the lesson was. I asked him how much sailing he had been doing and he replyied, “none, but my shoes stay tied now.”

This was interesting! Thanks for posting.

I do too and confused with the comment about this knot not coming untied. Double bow is the only thing that I have found to solve that issue. Heck 15 mintues running or on a soccer field with the kids will disprove that theory.

Interesting. I make reef knots, but never thought about it.

It’s also called a square knot. The reason why it’s called a reef knot is because it’s the knot used on a yacht to secure the excess sail during high winds when the mainsail is only partly deployed (reefed). The act of reefing is to take in part of the sail.

 

[NoleFan2U]

Double knot. Works every time.

 

[garysnoles]

When I tie my shoes I wrap the lace around first bow twice instead of a singe wrap. Still pulls untied the same, but seems to stay tied. Easier than a double knot.
