Shoelaces

[swindontony]

Why do my shoe laces always come undone no matter how tight I try to tie them.

[mibn2cweus]

what knot to do

[Clanad]

Or, perhaps they are waxed ... these are difficult to keep tied but are very dressy...

[bednobs]

perhaps your trousers rub on them and work them apart ... this always happens to me if i have jeans on.
I use a double bow

[knobbynonuts]

Well just cut out the middle man and dont tie them

[THECORBYLOON]

I often have the same problem wi new laces so I use an emery board to roughen them just where they will cross so the laces grip more.

[Quizmonster]

The very first thing I'd recommend is - if your laces are round (as most provided with new shoes seem to be nowadays) - get a flat pair. They'll stay tied far more readily.

Have you tried a double knot?
