    Default Who knew shoelaces could be so damn complex

    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.

    http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/index.htm
    http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lacingmethods.htm
    http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/knots.htm

    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...

    This is simply wonderful. Ian W. Fieggen has restored my faith in humanity.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    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.
