How to tie your shoelaces in 2 Seconds
More like how to tie your shoelaces in 44 seconds
I just timed how long it took me to tie one of my shoes, 6.16 seconds.
I have no idea what I’m going to do with all my extra free time now.
Doesn’t look like a big improvement over the “normal” way. And the 2 seconds are a little misleading since the shoe is already partly tied.
That said it’s always interesting to see a new approach to basic things.
I know this is pointless… but i also know this is the only way I am tying my shoelaces now…
That was a single shoe lace.
I think I’ll stick with my “slow” method of tying.
Unrelated – rep the New Balance 373! Comfiest damn sneaker there is.
I wanted to grab my shoes to give it a try. And then I realized I never tie my shoelaces. They are tucked away to the sides.
Saved 2 seconds.
Fake, video is 44 seconds long
I think the time it’d take me to learn to do this in 2 seconds would negate the time I saved tying my shoelaces faster for the rest of my life.
I just leave my shoes tied. 2 seconds saved
Just tied my shoes in 0 seconds, I have RM williams. Similar misleading title
Velcro – 1 second
This is helpful for someone that was taught how to tie their shoes incorrectly. I was taught by a lefty and I am a righty.
This will get buried, but this is wrong and unattributed. It’s called [Ian’s knot](https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm) and you don’t need the pinkies.
On a related note, Ian wrote the website on tying shoelaces. Check out why your [bush league knots come undone](https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm).
This took me like 5 minutes to get right, i felt like a fucking idiot. Also the way she says “use your right hand” while using her left hand and vice versa confused the shit out of me
I have no feet. What do?
My time to shine!
I learned about this method/knot a few years ago and have only been using it for my shoes since then, I guess it is quicker but shoelaces tend to come untied much more frequently than the traditional bow knot for shoelaces, and it uses a bit less lace/string, so I also step on my shoelace more often, which also often unites the knot.
If shoelaces were shorter (yay less waste) then that would help with stepping on them but I think they’d still tend to come loose as often.
Too complicated
This is going to save me so much time. Finally I can have my life back!
What the shit kind of video is this? Tie shoelace in two seconds, except start timing after you have already tied half of the shoelace and positioned your fingers in a weird way to do it quickly from there? Reminds me of that “get undressed in one second guy” who spends like ten seconds setting up his clothes and position to then do it in one second. Pointless. Hate this shit. In the bin.
i mean its fast but you still tie the initial knot so i cant see it being that much faster to be fair
Ahh yes, the Ian’s knot. I remember tying my work boots laces at my job and a girl I worked with was waiting for me by the door. She was impressed by how fast I tied them, haha.
It might get you chicks, boys!
This is how I always ties my shoes, but I use ring fingers instead. Maybe that’s why it seems to take more then 2 seconds.
Watching this video would probably take more time than you would save actually tying your shoelaces like this.
To many things going on at once , made Eggs Benedict
you see i dont have this problem because i own adidas shoes.
I Approve
Video lasted longer than 2 seconds, the cake is a lie
That’s great if you want loose laces, but I prefer my shoes to stay on my feet as I walk.
I’m about to be a timeinaire!

In motha Russia shoe ties you!
>that feeling of stupidity when you dont get how to do it
“How to loosely tie your shoe laces in 2 seconds”*
But she is wearing runner’s shoes – she should be using the top eyelet!
Loop swoop and pull !!!!!
The amount of time id have to justify remembering what my dumb ass needs to do with my fingers is exactly why ill do the 10 second method instead.
Does it factor in the time to do the first lace?
I thought this is the normal way. Do ‘mericans tie their shoes wrong?
In Soviet Russia shoe ties you
im so underwhelmed it’s not even funny
I had no idea tying shoelaces was such a big issue today. wear sandals, problem solved.
I am honestly sure that’s any faster than the way I do it. Maybe a tiny sliver. Doesn’t really gain me much
For her next video she’s gonna show us how to make minute rice in 45 seconds!
It would take me 2mins to get my shoe laces around my fingers in that cat’s cradle thing she does.
TL:DW
learned this when i was 6
this smile is very uncomfortable
Still a rabbit ears tyer(tie-er, tier, tie-ee) fuck there goes all the time i saved
Have fun with all that slack
I have been doing this for a very long time, it’s pure muscle memory and I cannot even remember how to do it whilst thinking about the steps you need to go through. It gives you some wacky looking oversized tied up shoelaces which aren’t very tight, but at least it’s under 3 seconds.
Vans slip-ons yo
I only know how to tie my shoes this way… I don’t know of any other way.
Even faster, don’t tie your shoes.
Seriously. More comfortable to wear them loosely anyways.
I tie my shoelaces once and then slip them on and off from that point on. So my method is 2 seconds faster than this video.
Just don’t untie them and slip on your shoe
I mean, that’s a great way to have shoe tied very loosely.
Doesn’t count if you start the 2 seconds halfway tied
I thought the video was going to end at “tie the laces as usual”
watched for 2 seconds, didn’t learn anything
i can never perform any of this kind of witchcraft. you ever see how these people fold shirts?
I’m a grown ass man who, apparently, has been tying his shoes wrong for years
now why wouldn’t they teach us this way in school!!!!
SHOE AND SHOELACE
In Soviet Russia, shoe lace tie you
[deleted]
If I actually spent the time untying and retying my shoe every time I took it off/on, I might use this. But unless I’m running or playing another sport, I typically just slide the already tied shoe on. For day to day use, I don’t really need my shoes to be the perfect tightness.
well i use Velcro, so jokes on you!

Well, that doesn’t count tying the initial half hitch, which would have to add a good second or two.
Sorcery
On the downside it takes me 11.98 seconds with this method.
On the plus side, I just spent 30 min working my regular method time down to 3.67 seconds!
So basically the Dvorak keyboard of shoelace tying. Supposedly better, but who the hell is going to bother.
I’ve been playing myself my whole life…
If I only need 2 seconds why is the video 43 seconds long?
2 seconds huh? Then riddle me this youtubes, why is the video 44 seconds long?
/s
Its called the Ian knot. I watched a video a few years ago about it and have been using it since
I learned how to do this from some stupid commercial about 5-6 years ago. I can’t even remember what the commercial was they showed a bunch of little clips talking about how much time we waste doing some things. It only showed the shoelace bit for a few seconds, but I caught it on DVR and replayed it until I figured it out. Now this is the only way I tie my shoes.
Unfortunately she ties the weak form of this knot, which comes untied too easy. There is a Ted talk about it. If you tie the strong form they won’t come undone
Fuck. I accidentally made pizza pockets instead
Thanks Zarya
It just took me 44 seconds…was much faster before watching this. 1/10
You just saved me 6 minutes a day thank you so much.
who ties shoes anymore. Tie them once and slip on and off forever! HA I have all the seconds now BITCH!
Fuck don’t reveal this secret to everyone! This is my Move to get the girls !
