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)

I started wearing them to the airport when I was traveling a lot because it’s so easy to take them off/put them on while going through security in a rush. Now I just wear them everywhere!
TIL I was tying my shoes wrong my entire life.
Another reminder that “it can’t be that hard” sentiment will almost always backfire.
Man I’m in my 30s and still do bunny ears to tie my shoes. Never really learned the “correct” way. My shoes do come untied a lot so maybe it’s time.
I honestly don’t think I could learn a new way to tie my shoes at this point in my life if I tried. It’d be like trying to learn to write with my left hand.
Doable, probably, but whats the point? My shoes come untied I just bend down and retie them. Takes a few seconds.
Nice shoelaces thus world peace are the point
I guess I can’t argue with that logic.
