So I found this link on one of my brief visits to something awful and damn I was blown away. I will never look at shoe laces the same again. I agree with SA that this has got to be the most comprehensive shoe lace site in the universe.

This is just the tips of the iceberg when it comes the exciting world of shoelaces!

I am so totally going to try out some of this crap.

wow, who would've thought someone would actually spend their time deriving 46 equations for how long a shoelace needs to be...

Yeah, I saw that a long time ago. I actually adopted his quick method and I still use it. It's much quicker than any other method, and the actual knot is the same.

I just tuck my shoelaces into the sides. It's uncool to have visible knots and the like :cool:

I can't really tie my shoe laces. Atleast everytime I try they end up getting untied and I'm too lazy to tie them. I don't mind stepping on them though or asking for someone to help me.
