Ian's Shoelace Site
Around  the age of four or five, children learn to tie their shoes. A process of trial and error, the mission is fraught with knotty problems dealing with undeveloped motor coordination. Once we've learned the trick though, there's a wealth of lacing and knotting maneuvers just waiting to be tied up. That's where Ian comes in. On his site he demonstrates a wide variety of knots and ways to lace your shoes. You'll learn about the knot he developed, which he claims is the world's fastest. But he doesn't stop there, leading you on a step-by-step tour of other knots including the two loop knot and the standard knot. If you want to dazzle your friends with your laces, try some of his lacing tutorials such as the very decorative bi-colour or the comfortable bow tie. While the subject matter may seem mundane, Ian's obvious enthusiasm for knots and laces makes this site an absolute kick. (in Fashion > Footwear) |
