Shoelace problem solved

For years I cursed the shoelaces on tennis shoes. They are so long that you have to tie some sort of a double knot just so you’re not walking on them. And if you don’t do the double knot really really tight it comes undone. And sometimes the laces are not quite long enough to do a double bow, and tying the bow loops in an extra overhand knot doesn’t shorten it very much and is hard to undo. I would really hate it when I was jogging and my second bow knot would come undone and I’d tramp on the lace with the opposite foot and come crashing to the ground. One time I took a really bad fall. You look like such an idiot when this happens. Anyhow, I’ve figured out a solution to the whole problem. You tie just one big floppy regular bow. Then, using your index finger, you stuff (push) the entire bow down between tongue and the outer part of the shoe. See the pictures below. Left side of the bow goes to the left and right side of the bow goes to the right. It’s important that you stuff it between the tongue and the outer part of the shoe. If you just stuff it down the side between your foot and the shoe you’ll feel it and it’ll drive you nuts. But if done properly, between the tongue and the shoe, you wont feel it at all. All the extra lace is securely hidden and will stay put and not come out. Give it a try.
