Tying Shoelaces
|
Most people learn how to tie their shoelaces around the age of five. It's one of those "rites of passage" of
adolescence, after which we take it for granted. Why then would anyone older than that visit a web site about
tying shoes?
Parents & teachers often visit, looking for early learning materials. Adults look for self-help, either through
having never learned correctly as a child or due to increasing infirmity. People whose shoelaces come undone look
for a secure answer. Occupational therapists look for alternatives to suit different learning styles. Academics &
lateral thinkers look for more efficient methods. Knot enthusiasts look for a reference. Sportspeople look for a
competitive edge.
Whatever the reason, I'm sure you'll find something useful here about shoe tying!
