It's never to late to relearn a suboptimal skill you thought you knew. I believe I found [this site](https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/knots.htm) several decades after being taught the standard shoe lace knot and a child. That one ALWAYS needed a second knot to keep my laces tied. Now I tie either the [two loop knot "bunny ears"](https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/twoloopknot.htm) or [Ian's Secure Shoelace knot](https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm). Both are balanced so the knots always stays tied and both can be pulled apart and undone with a simple tug at both free ends of the shoelace. Haven't tied my laces the way my parents taught me ever since.

Haha, I love how a guy called Ian made a 'secure shoelace knot'
