A few years ago I tought my wife (and the rest of her family) to tie a loop and follow square knot.
They actualy didn't ~like~ laced shoes becouse of the shaby knot they were using.
Teach her now.
My normal footwear I leave tied all the time, just push down on the back heel and step out. But I'll learn the new knots, nothing sucks worse than boot laces coming undone and becoming muddy or worse frozen.
I have a friend, he can never keep his shoes tied...but he also has dyslexia, severely. Never knew there was a connection.
