Untying shoes without jamming – Professor Shoelace
Explains why shoelace knots sometimes jam when untying, plus gives some tips for preventing such jams.
0:00 Introducing untying shoes
0:10 Demonstrating one knot jamming
0:24 Re-tie knots to explain why
0:35 One end slips through adjacent loop
0:54 Loop tightens around end, then jams
1:24 Solution #1: Pull only ONE end to untie
1:35 Still jams a bit, but remains loose
1:57 Solution #2: Keep ends longer than loops
2:09 Ends less likely to enter adjacent loops

    *Left over right starting knot:* Right loop, left end around the back/far (your perspective, the ”toe”) side of the loop.† Left loop, right end around the front/near (heel) side of the loop. *Right over left starting knot:* Left loop, right end around the back/far (toe) side of the loop.‡ Right loop, left end around the front/near (heel) side of the loop. If you’re used to grabbing one loop and going around the _front/near/heel_ side of the loop and getting a granny knot (as I was), you can simply change the starting knot and finish up tying your laces as you did before. †What Ian does here 0:25. ‡What Ian does here 2:21

      Thanks for passing on the valuable advice about the un-balanced “Granny Knot”. As you correctly noted, simply reversing the “Starting Knot” restores balance without having to re-learn the more complex second stage of the knot.

    I read about the Ian knot on your website about 15 years ago and it’s like having a super power! Like Doctor Who using his sonic screwdriver on a piece of string, changing it into a knot. I’ve used it to tie my laces but also to put balls in a Christmas tree, beautiful and super fast with just a ribbon, I use it when sailing to tie up the sail and other things, etc. I do use the last technique with the pinkies though. Thanks a lot for inventing and sharing!

      That's the most surprising comment I've ever read about this lacing technique! It's possibly something to do with the shoe rather than something you're doing wrong. For example, a rough bit of one eyelet, which was previously being bypassed when laced with regular lacing, but which is now being scraped across with this slightly different path. Hope you resolve the mystery!

    • @ProfShoelace

      On my website, I list the “Starting Knot” and “Double Starting Knot” separately, the idea being that the more secure variant can be used to make *any* knot more secure. You're welcome to add the “Double Starting Knot” to this knot if you wish.

  • @Dyanosis
    @Dyanosis Před měsícem

    I've been tying this same knot for years since my dad, who works for a Power Plant, showed me how he ties his work boots so they don't come untied (he used to do a LOT of walking). If you don't want to "have to hold the original knot tight" while you get the ears going, simply loop the lace back under again, and pull tight. To illustrate - Left over Right starting knot -> bring that left lace back under again for a second "loop". Then tie the double loop with the ears. You won't have to hold it tight.

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace Před měsícem

      Your Dad set a good example using a secure shoelace knot on his work boots. Your comment about beginning with a Double Starting Knot is also good advice. In my experience, the centre of the knot ends up very w-i-d-e due to the doubled start plus doubled finish knots. For greater security, wriggle the knot to get the centre tightly bunched.

    Unfortunately I’m still having to practice this, even after learning of it when I was 9. I’m 21 now and still don’t have the hand-eye coordination to get it right, I usually end up with a lopsided knot or it’s super loose.

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace Před 2 měsíci

      Sorry to hear you're having difficulties. You mention that it's both “lopsided” and “loose”. This makes me wonder if you're inadvertently tying it as an unbalanced “Granny Knot”. Try tying your “Starting Knot” in reverse. In other words, if you currently tie your starting knot by crossing the right end over the left end, switch to crossing the left end over the right end (or vice versa). Then complete the “Ian Knot” as you've learned it. Hope it works!

    Very helpful for me bc top of my foot is injured. Best way for me to follow this video is with no sound. Anyone else?🤷🏻‍♀️😄

      I'm pleased that the lacing helped with your injured foot. Also cool to hear that you didn't need the audio. That's a win for the power of video!

      Always a tough question! • Favourite decorative method: Lattice Lacing. • Favourite functional method: Over Under Lacing.

    As an autistic child, I never learned how to tie my shoes, and my parents quickly gave up trying to teach me the bunny ears method. I shamefully admitted I'd probably never learn how to. Over 20 years later I found a video showing the Ian knot and could do it after about half an hour of practice. I find it much easier and knots finally make sense to me! Thank you for sharing all this

      I'm so pleased to hear of your success learning the “Ian Knot”. Even better that you got the hang of it in such a short time. Congratulations!
