One, Two, Buckle My Shoe

Who knew that tying shoelaces could be so entertaining? Ian’s Shoelace Site is fun whether you’re a kid learning to tie your shoes or a parent needing to teach your kid. In fact, it’s fun for just about anyone.

I know most of us use the typical Granny Knot and Ian shows us how to do it so it stays tied. But he also demonstrates the two loop knot, which one of my sons figured out and preferred when he was in 1st grade. Oh, and I really liked the “Ian Knot” the World’s Fastest Shoelace Knot.

Of course, there’s also instructions on lacing. I wonder if I can impress my kids with some fancy lacing techniques?
