I'll have to ask my carer.
I double or even triple knot; I walk very quickly and rarely notice if my laces are becoming undone which often leads to shoe related suffering. Mostly falling flat on my face or down stairs at train stations
Double 'em up for me!
My boots in particular will always come undone after about 3 minutes if I only use a single knot.
The only exception is formal wear, when a double knot just doesn't look tidy enough.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

I don't think the options offered are comprehensive enough. What about those who prefer double knot for certain shoes or who never actually tie the shoelaces at all?
Not to mention those who wear shoes without laces or velcros?
I feel I am unable to take part in this discussion until enough options are provided.
Oh, maybe you mean to ask whether shoelaces exist? Do we believe in shoelaces?

Once when I was a young kid, a friend's mother tied my shoes with a double-knot before I went home, and my unsuccessful attempts to undo the damn thing traumatized me for life. Single knot all the way.

All responses (well, most of them) = .
I feel this must be a thread for the elderly like myself, who still know what a shoelace is.
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

A glance at the poll shows that Alexander III goes for Velcro. This is indeed a surprise as I would have thought that he would have gone for something more along these lines.
