I loved this site so much in middle and high school, I would walk everywhere and wear the soles out of my chucks hoping in vain that someone would notice the cool lacing.

haha, holy shit, I've been using "Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot" for the past 15 years, ever since I got that pair of boots where the laces were a bit too long and a bit too slippery and kept on undoing themselves.

I think this was the website that also taught me that I was just plain tying my shoelaces wrong for more than a decade - the bow should sit horizontally across your shoe. If it's diagonal or vertical, you've done part of it backwards, and it's a much weaker knot.

What's even more wild is that while this still has a strong "web 1.0" flavor it actually does adapt to mobile phones perfectly. Proof that responsive design doesn't have to be just for "apps".

Now THIS is a website!

... I might try that shoelace knot brb

Now this is what the internet is for.

Oh my god this is way way way more fascinating and well done than I ever could have imagined a website about shoelaces could ever be, in a million years
