The Runner's Knot - Why and How to Tie
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- The Runner's Knot, I love this knot for my running shoe experience. I first learned about the runner's knot from a kind floor worker at Runner's Roost in Denver Colorado. They took the time to share with me the benefit of tying a runner's knot, so as to avoid any slipping in the heel. Slipping in the heel is the absolute worse experience and feeling for all runners. Since I really love running on the trails in the summer time, it is important to maintain a lock down feel throughout the heel and collar of the running shoe. If you have any questions about how to tie the runner's knot, or the runner's loop, ask away in the comments below and I will be happy to assist you. Thanks again for watching this daily running vlog.

QD (a year later): I bought my third pair of Hoka’s the other week (Clifton 7s) and the heel felt loose. The guy at Runnulla asked if I do a runners knot? I looked at him funny and he got down and tied my shoe for me and wow, soooo nice! My 11yr old said it was cute to see someone teach his dad how to tie his shoes! 😂
Wow..there is a limit to the coincidence🤣
The Runner's Knot has proven ESSENTIAL to my running since high school(15 years). Without the knot my soleus muscle and occasionally the medial head of my gastrocnemius get unbearably tight and fatigued while running. Causing prolonged recovery periods that cripple training. Symptom of my skinny ankles and my running mechanics I suppose...Anyway, GREAT JOB sharing this golden nugget of running wisdom! Truly enjoying your channel.
Well thank you Lawrence, thank you! Wow, that’s amazing how much the Runner’s Knot helps you, incredible 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m training for my first 5k and this made running feel so much more secure because of the ankle staying down. Thank you so much!
Brilliant Hector, so glad it helped.
i was almost about to throw away my asics kayanos because of the slipping in the heel, turns out i wasn't lacing it correctly
saved me 160$
Chuck The Aviator jeez u probably have a load of rainbow flags in ur room
@Chuck The Aviator says the guy who paints his room full of rainbows
I had a pair of yellow 2018 kayanoz, after maybe 1300km I upgraded to 2019 gel nimbus,petty similar shoes to be honest but I had so many GREAT runs on my kayanos(being my first running shoes) I still think of them when I think of my running shoes 😍..
PS...I actually had to use google to find out that I have the Gel nimbus now😂
@@Dennis-de1ji I've got 2160km on mine, still going strong. Gonna upgrade in summer 2020 to the kayano 27, but this time one pair for daily and one for running
i bought a pair of asics aswell, 280 dollars worth and hated them, i will try it too... maybe that will work!
Just discovered this! And it solves an additional problem of many of my shoes: overly long laces 🤬which drive me nuts. I can’t wait to try this!
My problem with shoes typically is that the laces are barely long enough to double knot much less do a runners knot.
🙂 me too.
@@briansimon1263 Good running shoes have laces long enough to do a runners knot.
Love this. I have never heard of a runner’s knot, and now I’m doing it. I have not needed the extra tension in the heel, but the better fit around my ankle is perfect for securing laces and getting those out of the way. I already feel less annoyed. THANK YOU.
I just learned the runner's know today after one year of running. Shoe laces on my Brooks Ghost is not long enough though. Thanks for this video, really nice to know.
I use the runners knot on every shoe, every day (except Salomon quick lace shoes). Like you Seth it was 20 years ago at a small local running shoe store in Lincoln, Nebraska the owner showed it to me and have used it ever since!
Thanks Tim for showing me the video! I learned something new! Hopefully it helps with the half!
@@Tigsship you got it boss! Crush that race!!!
A must for my narrow heel! Couldn’t figure out why every single shoe wasn’t fitting quite right and my feet kept slipping (I lost SO many toenails before this). Like you, a running store rep taught it to me (also had no idea it had a name). What a game changer!
Never heard of of the Runner's knot nor tried it, but definitely will on my next run! Thanks for the tip!
Seriously I never would have thought my feet can feel so good after running. Thank you thank you thank you
I absolutely LOVE the Runner's Knot. It helps give that secure feel to my narrow heels. I learned it from the GOOD FEET STORE while I was being fitted for orthotics. I was a CC runner, back in the day. Having flat feet and now a ghost knee injury from running miles past, I no longer run but enjoy swimming, yoga and pilates, and of course an occasional hike through the woods. Love your motto! So many types of beauty underlie our world and individual existence. Training myself to recognize true beauty everywhere, every day.
Ran my first 5k in January 2020 in 32 minutes (not in dedicated running shoes mind you). Wasn't the fastest I know, but I'm more determined this year about running longer and getting faster on different terrain. I love your enthusiasm and encouraging words. Never heard of the runner's knot but I will use it from now on (your explanation was spot on). thank you Seth.
Rick Valdivia Keep going man!
Not a runner. But his helps with basketball. Thanks, i remember do this as a kid but i stopped doing it and in turn forgot lol
I run and play basketball and I use it for both
Thank you! The only problem I had with my Altra Duo's was the slightly loose heel area, and this solved that problem! Now they're the perfect shoe!
Funny thing: I bought new shoes today and the shop assistant just used this method (but only on one shoe). When I was home I thought I have to use this knot on the other shoe aswell. I figured it out myself after a while but I talked with myself the whole time like you do, when you try to figure something out (or because I´m weird lol). At the end RUclips recommendation did a great work with hearing my voice through my phone and brang my to this video :D Thank You :)
I am a master carpenter/joiner I have been shown many many trade secrets from when I was a kid learning my trade skills that I'd never seen, so when someone says they have a much better way of doing something I've learnt to give it a try rather than my way is the best and only way. So I have just put the runners knot in my Nike Air sequent 2s and I absolutely love it to bits mate this has got to be the best thing I've been shown for years and when I'm just popping out over the shop I just tuck the ends down inside my trainers and they stay quite tight great tip muka thanks Paul (wolves).
This is amazing my foot feels like it perfectly fits in the shoe, I tried running and walking around a bit with it, it's amazing
I started using the runner's knot a few months ago when I first saw a video floating around on Facebook that talked about it. I love it. Not only does it do a fantastic job of locking my heel in place, but I've also found that my knot lays a lot "flatter" on my shoe (if that makes sense) than it did with a traditional knot, and I don't think I've ever had my laces come untied--and I don't even double knot!
No double knot, oh my 😀 I would agree with the laying flat analysis 👍🏻
@@SethJamesDeMoor I like to live dangerously 😉
Josh Armstrong the only way to live!
You have no idea how pumped I am to try this tomorrow! I purchased some Pegasus and I’ve worn them maybe three times this year because of the non stop slippage in the heel.
I'm usually a size 9, most of my shoes are 9.5 so this will be so useful so I can keep those shoes and not throw them away so soon
Hey Seth.....I tried out the knop yesterday during my run Boy it made a HUUUGE difference.....i had more stability....got into my stride quicker....my legs and feed barely got tired....achilles tendon did not get sore on the long run it feels like my foot was stikking to my shoes it was AWESOME.....
THANX Again Seth!!!
Brilliant Johann! Glad to hear it. 👍🏻
I learned something new! Going to use it today on my run. Thanks! I'm 43 years old and never knew this.
I came back to running 6 month ago and I had not heard of the runners knot. Thanks for the video. I will certainly try it out Seth.
The inside heel fabric of my Saucony's is frayed and worn. First time I've ever had a sneaker wear like that. My heel must have been rubbing against it. Now I know how to tighten and correctly tie my sneaker to prevent this. Nice!!!
I've had the same issues with the heel of my shoe, couldn't figure out why but I suppose it must be rubbing
@@toad3222 I've only had it happen with the Saucony's so far.
Small world! A kind woman at Runners Roost taught me this just two days ago. 👊🏻👌🏻
Holy Mama.
I will use this knot for my futsal shoe.
Thank you sooOOOoo much for this video tips.
Tried it for the first time today on my Vomero 14 after watching your video and it worked great. Thank you! Hope you get well soon.
I’ve actually thought about searching for a tutorial on that knot a couple times when I’ve had heel slip issues in new shoes. Now I know! Thanks Seth
You’re welcome Ted, enjoy it!
Knot!
I learned aboit this freshman year of high school, it was like some secret tip the upperclassmen knew. I havent used it since because my shoes feel fine and I dont like them too tight, but maybe I'll give it a try on tomorrows trail run 👣 🏃
Nice, let me know if you end up trying it.
Every video about running for beginners should include this in it's intro!
3:15 is where this video should have started IMHO.
Thank you
thanks g
God
Thanks
You are amazing
Thanks doooder. I have one foot that’s larger than the other. This helped and made it all more gooders.
Ok so this has completely changed my running game for good, can’t believe I have been missing this out
Great tip. Something that many fitness runners are not aware of. Throwing a shoe going up hill will get a chuckle from the guys from behind.
This is the first time I hear about this knot. I'm about to go out to run. I'm gonna try it.
I never heard of runners knot before, and I'm about to go run and use it. thanks for sharing.
Wow. Mind blown. I was just about to cut my shoe laces cus they were way too long. With the runners tie it solved the problem and made the show more stable. Win win
Yeah I should've learnt how to do this ages ago. It seems to spread the lacing pressure out over a broader area and much easier to control the fit. I like to lace tightly and previously using the final eyelets meant pressure (and in certain shoes, discomfort) under the lacing knot. Thanks for your great videos!
You’re welcome Eddy, glad it seems to be helping you.
in the last weeks of usmc bootcamp my drill instructor gave us a class on physical health and showed us all how to do a runners knot because he felt that it helped. since then i forgot how to do it and just got new running shoes and knew i had to do it.
Just started running not long ago, thank you for the guidance on how to do a runner’s knot!
I bought a pair of shoes this year and the store employee taught me the runners knot. Its changed everything! Shoes fit so much better
I’m 13, and I started running when I was 11, and I hope one day I’m good enough to enter in the olympics! This knot is very helpful! Thank you!
have faith little one.. believe & work for it and it will happen. God Bless
Went to the shoe store and the lady told me about this knot. Found you on you tube and thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for tuning in
Instead of a double knot (which can become quite difficult to undo) at the end, try a Berluti knot instead. It can be a bit tricky to start with but, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy enough and, while it undoes just like a single knot (by pulling the 2 tails), it never comes loose.
I began to run daily almost about the same time you launched this video, and thnx God I did it. Since then I've been using the runners knot. Thnx Seth
I've just finished my running session (1.30h) and i have to say, i am so happy that i discovered this video, thank you SO MUCH.
My asics combined with this knot are fantastic
I am going for a track workout and I will definitely try the runner's knot. I think I will love this because I struggled a lot with slipping heel
Awesome 👏🏻
I tried this on this morning's run, and completely changed the way the shoe felt. I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but today I also ran a 10k personal best! Definitely recommend this method.
Seriously....
I never knew it's a runners knot. Have been tying my laces like this for past 20 years 😬 even my school shoes (black leather) were tied similarly.
I remember how my laces were famous in my class 😂
I actually tried something new and found them comfortable, so I've been using it since then in all of shoes, from formal to running.
Thanks.
Thanks for the videos. Hope you will get well soon. Btw a little tip for you. the last tie at 5:34 you may try to go your right hand on top so end up with a parallel knot.
Smart man on the parallel. I've been doing the bunny ears since I was a kid, hard to break the habit. Thanks for the comment.
@@SethJamesDeMoorhaha keep that habit if it is not often to be loosen up. Once again appreciated the great videos, full of passion and energy. Viewer from HongKong
OMG, never could figure why the 2 closely placed eyelets at the top.....the runners knot. Gonna give it a try with tonight’s run, ty for showing me how it is done.
You’re welcome!
never once heard of the runners knot, but i will definitely be trying it in the near future
Nice Brandon
Yes I will try this out with the vomero 14 it just looks cool and I'll wait to see the difference
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
@@SethJamesDeMoor wow that's fast
Thanks for the knowledge this is my 1st time knowing about the running knots.. Will try later 👍
Yesterday, I've tried the runner knot and It's really useful. Thank's a lot. 👍
Tried it for the past 2 runs, including a long run, love it, be my go to knot from now on
Awesome Hein!
Thanks, I watched this vlog before one of my runs and liked it and ever since I used this knot and it has saved me in two races when my shoe came untied it stayed to my foot just because of this knot.
I've been run for wild and I never heard of it but I will try it on a pair of shoes I bought today in fact the Adidas Supernova trail I will test that out tomorrow thank you
Thank you. I am not a runner, but have chronic pain and hyper mobile joints and this tip really helps.
I have heard of the runners knot - but I have been doing it wrong! lol - thanks for showing us the right way.
You’re welcome Matt!
KNOT - yes thank you for the lesson. Will surely try it out. Love you Seth. Get well soon.
I used this knot for years until I switched to Lock Laces. Man, do I love those.
I have a pretty large shoe size (us12.5), but pretty narrow feet, so this method of lacing is really the only way I can manage😁
Bravo!
You can buy narrow shoes
Thank you Seth! Just bought my Hoka Clifton 5 Knit and then read in the reviews it has problems with heels slipping out due to no padding and low heel structure, hope your knot will help with that!
Awesome, let me know if it helps!
Hey Seth, I’m doing this knot from now on always also because it is finally clear why the last top hole is made for. Now today was the first time I ran in Clifton 5 Knit and I do believe they have this heel slipping issue in general because the back of the foot has nothing to be locked in rather than a thin layer of this knitted material, but I do believe your knot helps to figure out the best lacing pressure to put on the top, I managed to lock my left foot more than the right one. Also funny enough I understood only today that I land on a heel with my right foot while on a front/mid foot with my left foot, maybe thus is the different feeling with the shoe. Thanks again!
Worked great. All these years and I have been missing out. Than you
I use it on certain shoes. You explained it perfectly! I find Altras really need that extra lock down in the heel.
Trying, only took about three takes.
Hi Seth, didn`t you have the flu shot? As I told you I`m 60. I`ve been in several shoe shops buying running shoes and up to now no one but you have told or showed the runner`s knot. Thank you, your the best. God bless you and your family and get better fast.
Feeling much better today 👍🏻
I forwarded the Runner’s Knot video to my athletic daughter who is in College track out of State.Why and How to Tie. Thanks Seth
Knot. Excellent!! I wished I had known about this knot a long time ago. I always have had a problem with my heel slipping. Btw, your lips are showing some symptoms of dehydration. Keep up those fluids. Chicken soup always makes you feel better. I guess that's the nurse coming out of me. God bless.
Didnt know it but glad I do now!! It's like night and day! Amazingly adjustable👍
Im a beginner runner, and now i know about runner knots 😁
Never heard if the runner's knot before, but I'm gonna try it
I believe I first heard about this knot like last week from EddBudd but I googled and your video came up, kudos to both of you.
I legit have a Top 5 as far as running channels go and the 4th and 5th kinda fluctuate a little but your channel has made its ways up there,
Thank you man.
Came online looking for a refresher! I have narrow heels, this helps with all tie shoes. Also, only a dad of a baby would look for 12 hours of sleep🤣 mom is looking for 5 uninterrupted😉
Runners knot healed my tensor tendinitis in no time while I was still able to run. Absolute must for running shoes.
Just tried the knot in conjunction with the Black Toenail knot... perfect for what I need on trails!! Previously my heels were suffering to accommodate the rest of my foot which has been a safety issue. Many thanks for the improvement:)))
I don’t even know how I came across this video. I’m definitely not a runner ... but this seems to help with my long distance walking or just general everyday wear because it makes my trainers feel so much more comfortable!!
Thank you very for this, very easy instructions too!
My xc coach showed me this 13 years ago and have used it on every single pair of shoes since then
2 years later and I still have this on my to try list 😂.
4hours later: yay did it on my new pair of sneakers! The tongue is a bit short, hopefully the laces won’t sneak under it. I hate it when the tongue is too short and the laces cut in. These shoes are made for running, feels rather more snug than regular sneakers. Wish me luck? I’m planning to do a 1/2 hour a day system starting today. 🤞
(April 18th 2022....Boston Marathon.) I just learned this knot! Thank you Seth. 👍
Never heard of the runner's knot and I will start using it now. Thanks
I had not heard of this knot before but I will definitely try it for my next run! Thanks!
I came here to watch a video on how to better tie my shoes, and I still stood till the end of the video. This is my first video watching you and I like it, nothing more nothing less!🤝💯
QoD: Yes, I do know the runner's knot. Hope you get up totally recuperated this morning and do what you like the most.
🙋🏼♂️ I've used it for a month now it feels awesome 😊 and good easy to use
I’m training for my first marathon and just completed a 14-mile training run which was my longest run ever. I’m feeling good except for some issues with my feet. I happened to re-tie my shoes at one point a bit looser than normal and it solved the numb feeling I was getting in my feet. However it meant a bit of heel slip. I asked a runner friend about it and she suggested a runners knot. I’d never heard of it before so looked it up and found your vlog. I’ll try it this week and see how it goes. I’m hopefully it will be the last piece of the solution for my feet issues.
I haven't seen this so might give it a try. For my main pair of runners I have some elastic laces, which give me the lock down feeling without putting too much pressure on the top of my feet, which sometimes leads to soreness. I don't even have to worry about redoing my laces.
Perfect!
Im not a runner (just ol country bumpkin )but no never heard of but going try this. Thanks for this random video for me
Hi Seth ,ive just started back running great video 👍🏃♂️i will start using the runners knot 👍#staysafe 👍🏃♂️🏴
GREAT JOB sir!!!! I just come across your vlog and I am very thankful for sharing it. I've been running for a couple of years now and tomorrow will be my first time to try this Runners Knot. I think it feels comfortable. Thanks a lot. God bless. from Butuan City, Philippines.
Thanks for the lesson, just laced up my new Saucony Guides with the runners knot for my first time and will test them out tomorrow morning for an easy 6 miles!
been doing this knot forever. It works awesome.
It works! Thank You!!! Love Your videos!!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks. no one taught me till I saw this video. much needed..will try it tomorrow
Yes, always use the runner’s knot 👍 Hope you feel better in the morning.
🙌🏼
Can't believe i never heard of it my whole life
I was struggling with blisters due to loose fit of my shoes and this made them perfect thanks man
I have ran over 25 marathons and I never knew of the runner’s knot.🤦🏽♂️. I just tried it and lived it. I wish I knew this thirty years ago.
Thanks for the video. I started running this year and I heard about this and did not know how to do the runners knot.
I have the problem of high arches so I have been using a gap lacing system, basically using traditional cross over apart from the middle section. This stops the laces digging into the top of my foot which can cause numbness. But then I had the problem of the heel slipping. I'm going to try this too, thank you
