For dress shoes, I generally buy thicker, longer laces (e.g. black boot laces) to replace what the store provides and I tie them in a double knot. But recently I’ve mostly been wearing loafers for work.
I don’t generally have a problem with sneaker laces.
I learned about heel/lace lock a few years ago. Tried it and found it really worked well. So a standard simple knot for the laces works.
It’s not the knot, it’s the lacing that matters.
Nobody just leaves them tied and slips them on? That’s what I do.
You probably can just use your fingers.
I am a combo of these two. Most of my shoes are Simple clogs, except for the Timberland Pro Titanium toed work shoes. Standard knot on the work shoes.
That secure knot, I also use.
The purpose of tying the lace is so the shoes won’t just slip off. So no. Although I did when I was a kid.
Strange, my shoes don’t slip off. Perhaps, just maybe, and I’m spit-balling here, that it’s possible to tie shoes enough so they don’t slip off accidentally while simultaneously allowing your feet to purposely be put into and taken out of the shoe?
I replace the laces on all of my shoes (except dress shoes, of course, which only get worn like once a year anyways) with these elastic laces. Easy on-and-off like slip-ons, but also tight and secure like traditional laces.
I answered “Hi Opal!” because I tie my shoes in a completely unique way. My father was big on encouraging creativity, so he made a wooden shoe with laces, showed me what a bow looked like and told me “Make something like that.” I came up with my own method, and have been doing it that way ever since.
Didn’t vote because it completely depends on the type of shoe and what I’ll be doing.
I use a mostly-standard knot (a square-like knot except with the second overhand being tied on a pair of bights), but with one twist: I tie the first overhand, then I tuck the loose ends of the laces through the last pare of lace-holes and knot them in place, and then I tie the overhand-on-bights.
This has a few advantages: One, it uses up more lace, because I find that most shoes have laces that are too long and I step on them otherwise. Two, it means that the first overhand never comes untied, and I can do the second part of the knot by muscle memory to get a square rather than a granny. Three, it prevents the loose ends from getting through the bights and forming a tangle. Four, when it’s time to take them off, I can pull on the loose ends with a single finger to untie the knot, which is slightly easier than gripping them.
As far as replacing the laces, a few years back I got some laces with periodic bulges in them, like a string of beads, or a python which has swallowed a bunch of piglets. They still come untied fairly easily when you want them to, but are much less prone to loosening on their own.
I do the standard. But I always replace the laces that come with the shoe with cotton laces. They never come out, while the nylon (or whatever they use) are always coming loose. Even round cotton laces work fine.
I use a standard Ian “Fast” knot. Haven’t noticed laces getting any shorter.
Shoes are an abomination unto the Lord.
Spoken like a true cloven-hoofed barefooted satyr. 
Well, so far, your hubby seems to be sadly mistaken. Either that or we have no “young men” on this site.
There’s also the fact that manufacturers insist on making laces out of friction-free materials like nylon. I fully expect some designer to proceed to the logical corollary and coat the soles with Teflon.
Other–I use a bow knot, which the reference site lists as a “two loop knot”. You take up two loops, cross them over each other, then feed one of them back through the gap and cinch it down. It’s pretty secure, as long as it’s balanced.
Is that the same as a “bunny ear” knot?
I am not making fun of you but there is no way I am doing that as an adult. One thing I learned looking up things for this thread is that there are a whole bunch of shoe tying knots and even web sites devoted to them.
Here is one (warning, graphically offensive because of 1990’s design style but very comprehensive).
According to the reference site (which the OP already linked, BTW), apparently so. I’ve never called it that, though.
Why, because some people have a silly name for it? It’s a common knot, easily tied and plenty secure.
The end result is exactly the same so why do the means matter? There is also a third method that gives the same result on that website, which by the way is also in the OP.
