How To Tie Dress Shoes Correctly | Right Vs Wrong Shoe Tying Video | Men's Footwear Style Tip
About this video
Centeno explains the proper technique for tying dress shoes, contrasting it with common incorrect methods like the granny knot and bunny ears approach. He argues that tying shoes correctly results in a knot that stays horizontal and secure throughout the day, and demonstrates how the direction you wrap the second lace around the loop determines whether you achieve a proper or crooked knot.
Key takeaways
- Centeno identifies the granny knot and bunny ears method as common but incorrect ways to tie dress shoes that produce crooked, loose-prone knots
- Centeno teaches that the proper technique involves wrapping the second lace toward yourself (rather than away) around the loop, which creates a horizontal knot that resists loosening
- Centeno notes that the correct method requires practice because most people are habituated to tying shoes incorrectly, but the effort pays off in a noticeably better appearance
