Why YSK is to prevent your shoes from coming untied, creating a tripping hazard (plus it looks better).

    I just do the former but tie the bows together to “lock” the instant “pull to untie” feature of the knot, then treat them like slip-ons. The “lock” don’t bind so they’re not hard to remove if I have to.

    I just make them loose enough to be able to slip on/off with minimal hand use but fit enough that they won’t come off in normal circumstances.

    I can tie a noose a little faster than my shoes so I guess I’m just bad at tying shoes.
