Doesn't tell about what you should do with your fingers. Anyway, it's pictures are nice, though they're the mirror image of what I described before (suitable for left-handed people).

I actually tied a shoelace the "right" way today - it worked! :bounce:

That's all I've ever done. I never could get my head around tying shoelaces "properly".
Meh. But my shoes stay on anyway - so job done, right? :wink:

I did this for years until I decided I was done with laces altogether. While I could tie them, they'd either be too tight and hurt, or too loose and cause extreme discomfort until I re-tied them, and would come untied no matter what several times a day.

Nowadays I wear velcro.
