It's a truly revolutionary way to tie your shoelaces! Please don't be put off by these detailed instructions-even the Standard Shoelace Knot looks tricky when illustrated! Give it a try; you'll find it's easier than it looks.ie a Left-over-Right Starting Knot as shown, then hold the laces as pictured. The right (blue) lace is held between the right thumb and forefinger while the left (yellow) lace is held around the left thumb and forefinger, using the other fingers of the left hand to hold the lace taut.
