AKICIF: Shoe Laces

[rolanni]

Despite having sworn a Solemn Oath that my next pair of shoes would, by ghod, be slip-ons or have Velcro(tm) fastenings, I have committed another pair of lace-ups (what can I say? This pair of Rockports have finally given up the ghost after four years and thousands of miles; the next pair should do as well).

Now, I have a particular Gift with regard to shoe laces: I can't keep the damn' things tied. But. Someone, somewhere mentioned in my hearing that there are "sticky" sport laces, which very rarely come spontaneously untied.

Anybody know anything about such an item? Pointers to places where I can lay hands on them?

Waxed laces. I use them in my skates and my boots. Waxed laces + a double or hiker's knot, and those puppies won't come untied.
