    Paracordist's how to tie your shoes and paracord laces so they don't come untied

    Ever since my friend Paul Moore of Pmooreknives.webs.com turned me on to this method, I've not tied my shoes the "old" way again! Here's the video I made:

    Thanks for that vid. Think I'll use that in school, I'm forever tying kids laces.

    That's really good. I used that knot on Friday and my laces didn't come undone all day. I particularly like it that you can still undo them by pulling one of the loose ends and they come undone as usual. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for that, so easy but effective. I normally fold my socks over my laces, that also seems to work for me.

    Fresh snowfall last night, couldn't wait to get out on the moor this morning.
    Remembered this tip when lacing my boots, they never moved

    Thanks for sharing.

    This has saved me loads of time not having to keep doing my little boys laces up. Even a double bow manages to come undone on him but this doesn't shift.

    I've been using this knot since the middle of December and it's brilliant. I haven't had to retie my laces once since I started using it. A real gem!!!
