Shoe lace tip

I ve always been plagued with shoe laces coming loose once or twice
while fishing. The problem got worse after my intregal gravel guards
broke. One day I hit upon this idea and so far it s worked well.
After lacing up thru the last speed buckle I do the first part of
a shoe lace tie( without the bow) and thread down thru the bottom
two speed buckles and then tie off at the bottom one.

Perhaps with the knot being in the middle of the shoe it s not
catching on things, also boot stays tighter as it s gripped at top
and middle. Anyway seems to work for me for what it s worth ...

Mr Siedman's "rabbit goes around the hole twice" also works very well.

I'm pretty sure I read that one in the Klutz Book of Knots.

Thread's a little bit of a letdown for me. Given the subject, I thought
for sure I would be reading of aglets.

There, that's better!

No pun intended, though, right?

Tie and burn if you're in the woods. Throw 'em away otherwise.

Crossword puzzles or just general trivia?

The two are blurred together in my world. They're somewhere to the left of
my happy little tree.

Sounds like good advice. However, try a pair of Chotas; no shoe
laces. Instead the "laces" are elastic cord with an adjustable
stopper. They are the only wading boots I'll ever buy not only
because of the easy lacing (no knots), but because they go on and off
so easily. Lots of boots I've owned over the years had to be wet to
put on. Not so with the Chotas. Also, the studs are removable for
those times when you *can't* have studs (i.e. drift boat).

Thanx Dave
May try a pair next year MT

How easily? With 'laces' of this sort, I worry about that 8-inch deep
tar-like muck on some river banks -- will these stay on?
