How to Tie Boat Shoes

[@crisoverlookchingchang]

I got a job because of this, thanks for the video 👍🏽

[@vash9545]

No problem, congrats! and thank you!

[@JudgeBuster]

Wow, I bet if I tie my leather laces on my Sperry deck shoes like this .... well, I'll be the most popular dude at my yacht club! Ya think so, bro?

[@zenzombie72]

Unlikely.

[@3sbon]

I'm sorry the shoes triggered you.

[@stevenbryant4718]

Put one of the stopper knots in first with the lace out of the shoe. 4 loops. Install the lace and pull the knot up to the eyelet. try the shoe out for tightness while standing up. take shoe off, note the fit. Install square knot. Install another stopper knot on the bitter end and adjust, What, you the the term bitter end came from pulp novels, no they are sailing terms. See you around the bend. Oh and if you want less slack in the pull it from the heel end first. keep them tight, you don't want to slip off the boat.

[@joycer1976]

It’s called a reef knot, right over left and left over right

[@tyrotrainer765]

Square knot - "left over right, right over left" was what I was taught some 50 years ago!

[@alextogo8367]

Both looks nice but your looks better. Thanks for sharing. Trying them now😎

[@LTD1863]

Great video, thank you.

[@msirull]

Great, dude, great... thanks!!

[@joling9994]

Thanks for the tips on how to tie a boat shoe! I finally did it today! I was just wondering, how do you determine the size of your boat shoe? I'm wondering if I got my shoe length wrong =(

[@vash9545]

Awesome! glad to have helped! and it depends how you will be wearing them, i know if you expect to wear them with pants, thus socks, you'll be fine if they fit better that way, vs wearing them without socks and having them fit snug. Nonetheless over time they will break in and the leather will stretch and match your foot better. So if they are too big that"s unfortunate, if they are too small, maybe they are your bare feet shoes, and can break in over time.

Helped me a lot, finally got this clip from all the way of sneakers, shoes and this boat shoes. And I finally did it today, thanks for giving a new life to my shoes this summer~!

[@vash9545]

Hey no problem, thank you for watching and I am glad I could help! Thank you very much for commenting! it goes a long way~

[@Elias-tl6hs]

Got my first pair yesterday and after watching your video they really look nice, not as goofy as before 😊👍

[@chodkowski01]

My laces don’t tie like yours. How much do you charge to tie knots. 😁

[@vash9545]

haha sorry about that, best of luck!

[@philipdonegan9716]

Great video. Best on this. I presume that once laced up, you take them on and off as if they were "slip ons"??

[@vash9545]

correct, yeah they are not that tight, and i don't lace them so no adjusting them. They are causal and i love em, the perfect slip on, thanks!

[@GS-md3hr]

I hope so because there's no way i'm doing this every time I tie my shoes

[@MtroSkywalker]

Bro you should show how to tie the La cees to te sperry oficial page,l!!

[@MrJaaaaake]

Do you buy your shoes big? I've never owned a pair of shoes/boots that I can slip my foot into if they are tied...

[@vash9545]

No I don't buy them big, but they are not super tight to wear, it may take me a second to slip in, but it will fit for casual walking around.

[@albreezie7731]

Cheers!

[@steamgent4592]

Lol your wrong square knot is called a Granny knot

[@vash9545]

yeah!

[@jonibarkley1195]

Cool

[@SuperPopem]

Excellent!

[@metricmoo]

Thanks! These long leather laces can be dangerous when riding a bike.

[@vash9545]

Exactly! thanks for watching

[@marciaeovino3584]

I like this look for my moccasins.. thanks!

[@vash9545]

You’re welcome ! glad to help

[@tyrotrainer765]

Square knot is also called reef knot..... easy way is take the ends, and left over right / right over left.

[@vash9545]

Didn't know that was also called a reef knot, good tip! and thanks for watching!

[@tyrotrainer765]

@@vash9545 You're welcome! Doing my new Sperrys right now, thanks for the video :)

[@vash9545]

@@tyrotrainer765 awesome! and of course!

[@nuotna]

So how u put the lace off to clean the shoes?

[@vash9545]

guess you can clean around them as best you can, or untie the whole thing, but getting back to their original state won't be easy.

[@Dontknowwhattoputin]

Thank you! I didn’t know you can cut the lace! I got my first pair today but I guess mine doesn’t need cutting because the laces are just not that long. 😑

[@vash9545]

well if it worked out, then that's awesome!

[@jaybeecarcueva428]

Thank you so much for the help really appreciate it.

[@vash9545]

Of course! no problem

[@RCBCuentos]

Nice tutorial... but how do you unlace them if you wanna take your shoes off or on?

[@vash9545]

I don't unlace them ever, I slip them on so they are easy to put on and take off, thanks!

No problem!

[@gsnman]

Nice shoes!

[@vash9545]

Thank you!

[@gsnman]

You're welcome. How do they smell?

[@vash9545]

haha I am not even going to try to get a wiff of them, no socks + leather = stinky!

[@gsnman]

Are they tight or loose when you wear them with bare feet?

[@vash9545]

I mostly wear them bare feet and they fit pretty well. They have also broken in so i could readjust them soon.
