A better way to tie shoes and boots
I learned this knot years ago, and haven't seen anyone else use it other than my family I taught it to. It's as easy to tie as a basic bow knot, as easy to untie, yet it holds far better. Whether thick shoelaces that don't stay tied, kids' shoes that come untied, or hiking boots that are inconvenient and perhaps even dangerous if they come untied, this works!

I've seen a similar double bite version, but it has one extra feature. I'm going to try both & see how I get on. I don't have big problems with by bow flapping open, but my wife gets it all the time, I'll try this on her boots.
Thanks
this is almost the berlutti knot - 2 loops with both bunny ear and tail. in this video, the first loop he only slot in the bunny ear but excluded the tail, but 2nd loop is good.
Vaguely reminds me of the Berlutti knot, although i haven't used that in years.

Yeah, it's not a Parisian knot for sure. It's like a half standard knot mixed with half Berluti knot. Sometimes the Berluti knot is preceded with a double X, though. Congrats, I think you've developed your own knot. Ive got my own knot too derived from trying the Berluti, Parisian knots and experimentation, but I may try yours. Thanks
I see the cord is fraying due to excess stress from the knot when pulling to untie. Lots of strain on the cord when pulling to undo.

The fraying is from the hook the laces go through, and these are actually heavy duty laces (don't remember the brand), that have outlasted two pairs of boots, so they've seen a lot of wear and tear - but it's not from the knot. No more stress on laces to untie this than any other knot, they just stay tied better.
I prefer Surgeon’s shoe bow Shown on Grog Knots app Three differences to your knot It has two wraps in base knot Tied left over right And both bunny rabbit ear loops are tied right over left Also they don’t bring single strand through with bunny rabbit ears. If you had taken both single strands though with bunny rabbit ears, then you would have Berluti knot Berluti knot is beautiful, but care must be taken when untie is done. Sometimes the single strand can be captured in bunny rabbit ear when pulling single strand to untie Thank you for showing knot videos
Just tie a square knot instead of a bow knot, won’t come untied on its own, doesn’t leave a loop to get caught on stuff, and easy to undo when you’re ready. Right over left, left over right, done.
