Thanks for the tip. While you are at it, check out the Swiss knot. Far easier to untie than a double knot with all of the same security. I've never had a shoe come untied since I started using it.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thanks for the info! I will look that up because I have never heard of the Swiss Knot. Thanks for watching!

[@chrissmithspresence]

@@UltraTrailSteven Esentially, on the loop part of the knot, you run it through a second time. You can still untie it by pulling an end like a single knot, but it doesn't come untied.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

@@chrissmithspresence very cool!

[@platzs33]

Love the runners knot! Also virtually eliminates shoes coming untied for those of us that live dangerously and don’t double-knot

[@UltraTrailSteven]

So true! I live dangerously too! However, the Torrent does still come untied with the runners knot.

[@CelineFerocious]

So THATS what that extra eyelet is for!! Great explanation in the why, when, and how 😁 thank you!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Haha yep! It has a purpose! Thanks for watching and always supporting, Celine!

[@movemorenowjames]

Just starting using this knot ... helps, great hold. Nice vid Steven

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thanks, James! I definitely like the knot on my trail shoes.

[@mandy4887]

I've been doing that lacing for YEARS. Didn't know that is the name!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Well now you know! Lol also known as runners loop and heel lock

[@JonJosephKuhn]

I was waiting for this. Seriously. Thanks!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Awesomesauce! I hope it helps, Jon!

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

Nice wee tutorial Steven 👍🏃

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thanks, Martin!

[@RunFreeandStrong]

Thanks Steven! Haven't used the runners knot, and will give it a try on some of the steep technical trails.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Let me know what you experience with it! Thanks for watching!

[@KiaraHargrove]

Great video! 💯

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thanks! 😃

[@TrailSage]

I didn't think I need to use a runners knot until watching this video and looking at my toes, lol.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Hahaha might be worth a shot!

[@Kelly_Ben]

Love the runners knot! I've never had the toe issue, but I HAVE had nasty heel slippage on steep uphills.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Yeah it works great for that too! Thanks for watching!
