    YSK what a granny knot is
    www.fieggen.com Ian's Shoelace Site – Granny Knot Info

    Many people are tying a “Granny Knot”, which sits crooked and comes loose. Learn the “one simple trick” for keeping your shoes neatly and securely tied.

    Why YSK: The granny knot is the most common reason as to why show laces seem to be undone so easily. It's caused when the Starting Knot & Finishing Bow don't “balance” each other. Recognizing this can help you make your shoe knots much more secure.

    Edit: (BTW, YSK the website as well. It's a really good resource for tying and lacing shoes)

    Besides the whole Fediverse, what are some underrated places on the internet?
  • ToS;DR (Full name: Terms of Service; Didn't Read) actually makes terms of service agreements understandable.

  • Besides the whole Fediverse, what are some underrated places on the internet?
  • Ian's shoelace site is the best resource for everything regarding shoe tying and lacing. If you need to tie your shoe better, this is the place.

  • Recommend a water pick?
  • In my experience, it does not clean as well as string floss, but it has better reach and ease of use. It helps a lot if you have a trouble flossing or if you have braces, but it does not get in-between teeth as well. It can't replace string floss, but it's a good alternative.

    I recommend one with enough capacity so that you don't have to refill more than once. Also consider the pressure of the water as, in my experience, only the high settings clean my teeth well.
