Good tip. If you make another "surgeon's knot" with the final bow loops you end up with a turquiose turtle knot or shoeman's knot. It is more secure, rarely comes loose and yet is easy to untie just like a regular double slipknot.
Want to thank you for the advice - found your video clip after some really bad blistering on my heels; have done two day hikes since without any issues 👍
I worked standing on hard (concrete) surfaces for years and found that just wearing better shoes really helped. Including better tying techniques could help too. Thanks!
No problem +Sgt. Pepper! Glad it helped. There is a whole lot more information in this link if you need it www.bigmountaintraining.com/pages/hikinggear
You finished it with granny knot at the end. You can tell that by the two rings that tend to line up vertically instead of horizontally. That'll come off anytime. Correct way is left over right then right over left, or the other way around.

Walk on that concrete barefoot and most of your feet will be blister-proof.
Yes! That looks like the solution to my boots and my blisters and my hill!
Thanks for the tips! I can't believe you finished off with tying a granny knot instead of a much stronger loop knot... 😧
Great advice man, thanks

This is great for hiking boots, but I have this problem in ankle-level trail shoes as well. Ideas?
