I've been using the secure version of this knot for a few years now, and I've been entirely satisfied with how it holds up in the real world!

What does that even mean? lol. The Ted way still works and the shoe laces have not come undone in 10 years since I've been using it, so why would I change method?

It's quite hard to maintain tension with the Ian knot and it also doesn't speed up the initial twist. It's a good party trick though!

You can just leave the initial twist on the shoestring
