Shoelaces....is it just me?

[turpin]

I once received advice that was to hold them up with small baby pins concealed under the knots.

Thanks all.

How practical is that? I think our ancestors would laugh their heads off. Hope you filed that advice where it belongs.

As Steve pointed out, "they ain't Roman sandals."
A couple of overhand passes in front, a couple of twists in back, and tied off in front again; wrapped just above the medial and lateral malleolus. Simple and straightforward, it takes less time to do than explain, and they never fall down.

I've found this link to be very good for tying ghillie brogues

McMurdo's site is good. I have been putting four twists into the front and back, but that could be adjusted easily. Also, I wear my laces to the front with leather tassels.

I tie mine with four twists in the front and two in the back, and finish with it tied off in the front.
