   if you want to be able to untie the knot, then yes. Navy SEALs are known to tie shoelaces in square knots when jumping from planes, because the wind would blow shoes right off. When removing shoes, they just cut the laces off with a K-Bar knife.
   
   And then there were the velcro shoes of the 1980s, which made "shoelaces obsolete". A true geek still wears those with no socks, so his ankles can buck and wobble (geek-gait).

   Conserve lace? I have plenty of lace, what I need is a knot that doesn't untie itself. These new round laces are terrible for that. I double-knot my shoes and they still work themselves loose every once in a while.

   You have spent a lot of time and effort making sure that you chose the right tuxedo for his first school prom, now all you need to complete the picture are a good pair of black prom shoes for boys.
