    I was so stoked when i finally got the hang of it and learned how to do it at a faster pace.
    I always did the "bunny ear method" because thats what my parents taught me. Since im only twelve i was able to learn it faster than i thought i would,but although at first i was so confused about the whole loop process and kept failing getting the knot tight i eventually got it after like an hour.
    Thanks alot professor! 😄

    another great video here ian! i have a question. does it matter which way you 'fold' the loop? in this video you are folding the loop towards the front of the shoe. on your website (stage 2 flip book) it looks like you are folding the loop towards the rear of the shoe. hope that makes sense ☮️

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace  2 года назад

      I get what you're saying. Up to Step 5, the loop is pretty much flat, with the loose end at the right. At Step 6, the loose end begins to tuck behind as the knot tightens into it's finished state.
      Mostly this was done for the sake of clear diagrams. You can form the loop any way you wish. It will usually rearrange itself during tightening, but even if it doesn't, the knot should hold almost as reliably.

    2:04 the other option - what I do as an ambidextrous person - I do the starting knot the same as you did, but for the finishing knot instead of "running the right loop around the back", I run it around the front of the left loop

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace  2 года назад

      If so, you're creating an unbalanced “Granny Knot”, which sits crooked and will come loose. You're welcome to wrap around the front as you are doing but to re-balance the knot you should do your Starting Knot in reverse.

    Hi Professor Shoelace! Does this method also work for round or oval types of shoelaces as well?

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace  4 года назад

      This method is just as easy to tie with round or oval shoelaces. That said, round shoelaces don't tend to hold a knot as well as flat shoelaces. Oval shoelaces are somewhere in between. Some people find that a secure shoelace knot is a better option.

      @lindatotten9325 4 года назад

    Does it matter if you go around the loop front to back or back to front? IOW, viewed from above you go counter clockwise or clockwise?

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace  11 месяцев назад

      Yes, it does make a difference! If you want to go round the opposite way to this video, then you'll also have to tie the “Starting Knot” the opposite way so that the finished knot is “balanced” and stays secure. Otherwise, you'll end up with an un-balanced “Granny Knot”, which sits crooked and tends to come undone.

      Left-over-right is natural for me. If right-over-left is more natural for you, then go for it. Just bear in mind that you'll also have to reverse the way you tie your finishing bow so that the finished knot remains balanced and secure.

      @jeff__w 5 месяцев назад

      You did! That’s why, on another video, with a “left over right” starting knot and using the left loop, the right end goes around the *front* of the loop.
      It seems impossible to me to come up with some mnemonic for these. I guess the best thing to do is just pick _one_ starting knot and _one_ loop for both shoes, no matter if you’re right-handed or left-handed, and stick with that. (I’m left-handed but I _think_ I use the right loop-at this point I’m not even sure. I have to just learn one of these granny-knot-avoiding ways.)

    lolz why 'left over right', why not 'right over left' - are you left handed? Right over left, then wind the lace over the front and tuck in from behind easier than round the back and push through from the front.

    • @ProfShoelace
      @ProfShoelace  5 лет назад +1

      Having watched countless shoelace tying videos, I've seen other people using just about every possible variation of left / right / front / back. This way feels most natural to me, even though I'm not left-handed.
      As for the merits of pushing through the back or the front: For an adult - who can work by "feel" - pushing through the back is probably easier because the fingers are in the most natural positions. But for a child - who needs to work by "sight" - pushing through the front is the obvious choice.
