Do you know how to tie your shoes?

[Que]

I've purchased many pair of running shoes trying to find the perfect pair. I had no idea there were many ways to tie running shoes to create the perfect fit. I am no longer having the problem of loose fit in the heel and then my big toes hitting in the front. This may allow me to add a few miles without being uncomfortable.

Thanks for posting, for us people that have feet and shoe issues it was interesting, like you I had never thought much about different lacing techniques.

That's something that I DO NIT have to worry about.

Are you talking about the dog's chew toy? Does that serve another function?

Kid's shows tend to use velcro so we had a heck of a time teaching them to tie laces.

"Daddy, in the olden times there were laces and now there is velcro. Why do I need to know how to tie shoes?"

There was a TED Talk tying shoes. I had been tying my shoes wrong for my whole life. Terry Moore: How to tie your shoes | Talk Video | TED.com. I started tying them like the guy in the video suggests about two years ago and my laces haven't come untied since. You can identify if you've tied them wrong by looking at the bow, if the bow remains horizontal they're tied right, if it turns vertical they're tied wrong.

...plus a bald head and both shoe tying and hair combing are no longer a problem.

This! I discovered I was doing it wrong in my early forties and had no idea it was a matter of changing one simple thing.

I learned the first technique a little over ten years ago when I ran my first mini-marathon. I've used it with every pair of running shoes since until the current pair of Saucony shoes I'm using now. They haven't had the heel lift issue for some reason. They're more of a minimalist shoe than the traditional shoes I've had before but they're working well. Two years ago I started trying to land mid foot or on the ball rather than heel striking. It's been a long road but worth it.

Add a bidet to that list and this thread is moot.
