Why learn to tie shoes?
This is where the creation of this shoelace tutorial began. This project focuses on lacing up sneakers instead of boots or other more exotic shoes. I hope to get feedback on this tutorial to help me better communicate my future projects.
Step 1: Loosen your shoe laces
Make sure both ends of the lace are completely undone and that there are no knots on the tongue. It is often helpful to place both ends of the lace on the opposite side of the shoe.
Step 2: Tie a knot in your hand
Start by tying a knot at both ends of the lace. This is done by twisting one end of the lace over the other and wrapping it once around the other end as shown in the picture. Pull both ends of the lace to tighten it if desired. The ends of the laces should end on the side of the shoe opposite where they started.
Step 3: Finish the base knot of the shoe
Form a loop from the other end of the lace by bringing the center of the free segment to the base of the top knot. Hold this ring in place with your thumb and forefinger as shown in the first photo.
Take the other end of the string and wrap it around the thumb, around the loop and over the index finger so that the index finger pushes it all the way into the space between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand, as shown in the photo Two.
Continue to push the folded end of this loop through the loop created by wrapping the loop around your thumb and forefinger. After forming the second ring, you need to swap the rings between your hands as shown in the third picture.
Once this is done, tighten the loops the same way you tightened the original knot, as shown in the last picture. Be careful not to pull the ends of the lace through the center knot, or you’ll create another knot that will be harder to untie.
Step 4: Create a duplicate node
In order not to break the lace, it is recommended to tie another knot from the loops made in the previous step. This is done by crossing one loop over the other and wrapping it once around the second loop. As shown in the figure, each cycle is treated as a single inseparable sequence at this stage. Pulling the lace through the loops completes the process.
Step 5: Done
Pat on the back! You have successfully tied your shoelaces! As I said in the introduction, I appreciate your feedback so I can make sure my future tutorials are better.
