Why YSK: The granny knot is the most common reason as to why show laces seem to be undone so easily. It’s caused when the Starting Knot & Finishing Bow don’t “balance” each other. Recognizing this can help you make your shoe knots much more secure.
Edit: (BTW, YSK the website as well. It’s a really good resource for tying and lacing shoes)

TIL I was tying my shoes wrong my entire life.
Another reminder that “it can’t be that hard” sentiment will almost always backfire.
I started wearing them to the airport when I was traveling a lot because it’s so easy to take them off/put them on while going through security in a rush. Now I just wear them everywhere!
Man I’m in my 30s and still do bunny ears to tie my shoes. Never really learned the “correct” way. My shoes do come untied a lot so maybe it’s time.
I honestly don’t think I could learn a new way to tie my shoes at this point in my life if I tried. It’d be like trying to learn to write with my left hand.
Doable, probably, but whats the point? My shoes come untied I just bend down and retie them. Takes a few seconds.
Nice shoelaces thus world peace are the point
I guess I can’t argue with that logic.
