How To Of The Day: How To Tie Your Shoes

Terry Moore demonstrates a simple way to tie your shoes better. In this video he explains that after you make the initial knot and the first bow like you usually would, all you have to do is loop the lace the other way around the bow. Finish the knot and pull tight.

Terry Moore found out he’d been tying his shoes the wrong way his whole life. In the spirit of TED, he takes the stage to share a better way. (Historical note: This was the very first 3-minute audience talk given from the TED stage, in 2005.)
