    Why did you link to a knot that’s not the ian knot?

    I used to triple tie my shoes, but they would keep getting untied. After I learned a balanced ian knot my shoes would never get untied again.

    Balanced friction > total friction

      The Ian know it nice, but mainly because it’s so fast. The end result I believe is the same as a balanced granny knot. The Berluti knot is even less likely to accidentally get untied, and is about as easy to intentionally untie.
