Outdoorsy shite: bootlaces

[bellatmum]

Hello
Just wanted to approveyour sit in and ask- does anyone know- if I change my walking shoe laces from the round type to the flat type are they less likely to come undone? They always come undone no matter how tight I tie them.
It's very annoying esp when I'm carrying dd only back.

On my back. Stupid phone

Yes, flat laces definitely better than round ones. I can't understand why boots ever come with round - maybe they're a bit easier to tighten.

I've got a pair of walking shoes with round laces - they're ok if I do a really tight double knot. Which I never remember to do when I first put them on.

Yes I always remember the double knot as they come undone, usually in a big puddle

Another vote for flat. Round are jus slippy hopelessness.

Hi, we've moved this into The Great Outdoors.
