I was taught a very easy, very effective way of tying boot laces many years ago, that keeps them tight all day. It goes like this: you make your standard first loop, then as you are starting to pull your second loop, instead of pulling back the index finger that you just pushed the lace for the second loop with, you keep it there, keeping that path open, then instead of pulling the second loop out you feed it back around into that path a second time, and then pull it out. You have then made that second loop so that it is held double so that it will not loosen. Another nice thing is that this knot pulls out just like the standard bow tie. There is no need to fish around for the knot to pull it out. The neighbor who taught me this was a dairy farmer who had been in the army rangers in the sixties, which is where he learned it. The fact that the Rangers didn't have to stop to retighten and tie their boots is what has made them the highly effective and fighting force that they have been since the early days of WWII.
