Making Your Knot

While trying on those 8 inch Belleville's last weekend, I wondered if there was a better way to lace and tie them. Turns out there are a lot of lacing and knotting options out there and Ian's Shoelace Site is a good place to start. He rates a number of lacing methods and lists the advantages and disadvantages for each. Turns out the standard criss cross that I've been using since I was a kid is a good all around method. It also turns out that I have been tying my shoes wrong for most of my life.
