A Knotty Issue




Untied shoelaces are a chronic foe for many.No matter how tight and firm we tie our boots,the laces end up flapping around our legs.It is really irritating and a redundant break in the flow of work or fun.

Untied shoelaces set into motion a series of problems for us

1.         The society is judgmental of untied shoelaces as signs of insincere and unsystematic people
2.         Looking for an elevated parapet/car bumper or any such place for tying shoes is cumbersome
3.         If one is strolling in places with a muddy or wet turf god save his shoe laces
4.         Danger of tripping oneself and others

Buying Velcro shoes is Richie Rich’s solution. The elastic lace technology hasn’t kicked into the Indian scenario hence shoe laces remain the most prevalent shoe fastening methodologies. The only way out is to change your knot.
Most of us learnt the granny knot which is one of the easiest to tie and the one to get unfastened fastest as well. So a simple variation in the granny knot can help keep your shoes fastened forever. Behold the reef knot…the following video teaches you how to tie the Reef knot.
