Tie Your Shoes Faster With The Ian Knot

We’ve shown you a few ways to tie your shoes more efficiently, but if you’re looking for a super-speedy way to get your shoes on and out the door, the Ian Knot is a super-fast method that will make it happen.

We’ve actually mentioned the Ian Knot once before, but the diagrams were a bit difficult to follow for some, so reader A Jostel put together the above video, complete with a slowed-down demonstration and instructions, for super simple learning (he also included a nice trick to getting the first half of the knot down). It might take a few minutes to get right, but once you get used to it, you’ll be tying your shoes in two seconds flat.
