    I don't know how I found my way to this side of RUclips but I'm an outdoorsman, avid hunter, and a 3rd generation Farmer. I tried this just to try it and it's the only knot that has not come untied yet. And is easy get off. I don't like knots that take a lot to untie or come untied. I'm constantly around fast spinning objects and plenty of things that can take my leg from me if I do get my boot stuck or catch a lace flowing in the breeze. a simple yet tough knot and this is the one. I've used it for about 3 months now and will never go back! Thank you!

    This has transformed my shoe-tying life! It does take a few extra seconds to tie, but it wears ALL DAY with never a need to re-tie. I especially appreciate it when wearing shoes with round laces. Bunny Ears!!

    • @dsandoval9396
      @dsandoval9396 Год назад

      There's a quick and easy (and dirty) version that's basically just doing one side and then tightening the whole thing. It still keeps the knot in place, nothing is going to undo it, but alas, visually it looks like the son that always wanted to do things half way because "it's good enough".
      Only recommended if you're in an absolute hurry (going to miss your flight) or if you're tying drawstring shorts, other than that I'd say use the full classy version.

    This knot also is perfect for drawstring pants so that the knot doesn't creat a huge bump. Thank you! I am also using it for my shoes. Your explanation was so clear, this has become an easy knot to do. I think the shorter and stiffer laces make it more difficult than with other laces and strings.

    BRAVO KIRBY!! Another great tip from the Hanger Project. Since learning the Parisian knot from your videos I've used it almost exclusively until now. Although more secure than the square knot, the Parisian did tend to slip during the day requiring one to retie it once or twice a day. Not so the Berluti! It holds and holds with no maintenance required, then is undone by a simple pull on the strings! Thank you for yet another great dressing tip.

    • @kirbyallison
      @kirbyallison  7 лет назад +2

    You know, I used to just tie a Dubble knot without a bow and sometimes even 3 knots, because the shoelaces always open when I have to run to the bus.
    This knot is not only really beautiful, it's also stunningly secure but also so much easier to open at home than the Dubble knot. This changed my life.

    Hi Kirby, first of all, I would like to thank you for introducing the Berluti knot. After watching your video for several times. Finally, I managed to get it. Following are my understanding of tying the Berluti knot.
    Step one, I twisted the laces twice instead of one.
    Step two, form two Bunny ear with a hole bellow. Instead of left over right, I do it right over left, bcos I am right handed.
    Step two, grad the right bunny's ear n d left end l squeeze both inside out of d hole below.
    Step three, grab d left bunny's ear n d right end, squeeze it outside in to d hole.
    Step four, use d two bunny's ear to adjust it kneatly.
    Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    If you've tried this a bunch of times following the video and your knot keeps tilting to the side, make sure you cross the RIGHT lace over the left one in the beginning. Then follow the steps as shown in the video. If you cross the left over the right, the knot will tilt to the right.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens Год назад

      I wonder if the instructions might benefit from dropping "left" and "right" and substituting the more precise "medial" (ie closer to the centre of the body/"median axis") and "proximal" (ie. farther from etc). Seems like the key for a balanced knot on both shoes is to start by crossing the "outside', or proximal, lace over the "inside", or medial, one.

    • @jojocastillo2923
      @jojocastillo2923 11 месяцев назад

      ​@@michaelccozens..... The opposite of "medial" (meaning towards the middle or median) is "lateral" (meaning towards the outer side) while the opposite of "proximal" (meaning close, nearby or next to) is "distal" (meaning away or distant). We use this terms in Medicine and Surgery.

  • @MJFallout
    @MJFallout 6 лет назад +11

    Very cool and well explained.
    One good thing about this (besides being interesting, and neat looking and an indulgence for those ritualizing things like this) is that it uses up more lace, so if your laces are just a little longer than you'd like this might be just the thing. (Thus I have already appointed this knot to a pair with this 'issue')
    Really this impressed me almost as much as when I first learned about Ukrainian lacing which I find such a joy to use on lace-up boots)
    Also, I gave you a sub. Yay.

      Just use a standard box knot. Wont come untied, no need to double knot. Theres a 30min documentary on shoe tying, Its actually pretty interesting. Search for shoe tying nat geo
      Couldn't find it on RUclips anymore, but it's a going deep episode about shoe tying if you can find it.

    My father taught me this knot and we just used it for high top boots. We cut timber and a reg knot would get pulled out by the brush. That being said what a person wears does not make the person. People are valued by what they do.

    The berluti knot is awesome. I just did it right now as I'm waiting for my next assignment. I actually did it on my boot and saves a good amount of space to get tucked in. I'm going to use this knot from now on

    @Kyle-mt5wr 3 года назад +5

    Pro tip- the way you start the knot matters. If the knot isn't sitting quite right try tying the first bit left over right or right over left, the knot should naturally be horizontal and not diagonal.

    This is an excellent knot. I have laced boots with a side zipper and the knot was always coming undone, but not with the Berluti knot. Plus it looks good and is very easy to undo.

    One can also accomplish this knot without the 'bunny-ear' method, however it is difficult to express in writing. For those that typically tie their shoes by forming the first loop and then wrapping around and under for the second loop, all one must do is wrap that second loop around one more time prior to tightening the laces and you will get the Berluti knot--that was how it was explained on Berluti's web page a few years back and I've been using it ever since!

    • @kirbyallison

    • @nimogt
      @nimogt 7 лет назад

      I have seen the Parisian knot video, however mine is still different. I'll apologize for making my above assertion sound so simple as describing intricate shoe knots via RUclips comments is quite complex!

    • @knkbigelow
      @knkbigelow 6 лет назад +1

      Your explanation is fine for anyone who already ties their shoes without the "bunny" method. I double wrap too and get the same effect as this knot.

    • @brookiebakerie
      @brookiebakerie 6 лет назад +2

      That sounds like how I've been doing it for over 20 years. I had leather booties in high school (Eastland brand) with leather laces that were forever coming untied, even with a double knot. A classmate showed me how to tie my laces with the double wrap method. His grandpa was a podiatrist and that's how he always tied his patients' shoes after their appointments. I've NEVER had laces come untied after that. I use it on my kids' shoes and I've taught several people over the years. It's much easier than the method in this video and results in the same thing: a lace that lies flat and doesn't come untied until you pull the ends.

    • @brookiebakerie
      @brookiebakerie 6 лет назад +2

      Here's a video. This is how I've done laces on all types of shoes for over 20 years, as mentioned in my other comment, except I don't do the double wrap at the beginning. It takes no more time than a standard double knot, so not unreasonable at all. I never knew there was a name for it. :) ruclips.net/video/EIEL8b7kMxE/видео.html
