Learning to tie your shoes can be easy if you know the basics. Start by crossing the laces and pulling them tight to create the bottom knot. Tie each lace into a loop and hold it between your thumb and forefinger. Cross the loops over each other and pass a loop through the hole created by the intersection. Pull two circles to tighten the knot. Make sure the bow fingers are equal for bow balance. Commonly known as the "bunny ears" technique, this method is easy to learn and perfect for securing many types of shoes.
