geez, I havent "thought" about tying my shoes in ages. *looks down* still tied. guess Im doing ok.

and Im with Alex...some dress shoe laces just WONT stay tied unless glued. (stapled?) I try to avoid those altogether.

I've been doing it wrong all along. I'll try to teach my son the correct way to break the cycle.

Thanks CP!

OMG, that site is hilarious.

Brigitte... try teaching him the "two loop knot" on that guy's site.

That's what I am teaching him primarily. I did that with my daughter first too, it's a good method for little fingers until they get the idea and can figure out the other way.

I'm afraid that if I think about how I tie my shoes I'll never be able to do it again.

So which end of the velcro closure do I put over the other one ??

I just realized that excepting for my garb, I only own one pair lace up shoes and those are only worn occasionally. I wear slip on (as opposed to lace up) dress shoes and my primary casual shoes are also slip on.

Hmm...
