Hiking Tip: Shoelaces

Published on July 21, 2014

Now even though I’ve proved myself a bit of a fan when it comes to having a good excuse to stop and catch my breath on the track, I’m even more of a fan of finding ways to deal with annoying little things that happen when hiking, namely… having your shoelaces continually come undone.

Trust me, I’d tried everything! Double knot, triple knot and even the running shoe technique of lock laces*. Still no joy… in my frustration I gave up and changed!

I know it seems like a no-brainer, but hey… sometimes it takes me a while!

*BTW, I love that there are whole sites committed to shoe laces. Sigh… the tribes one finds on the internet!

Q: What’s your top tip when it comes to hiking shoes?
