Had this happen at work today and my colleagues looked at me like I was a madman for tying both shoes again, instead of just the one that got loose. But doing both shoes again just makes more sense, because you ensure both shoes are equally tight again.

Am I just weird for doing this?

I just double knot so the laces dont usually come undone so I’d just do the one shoe

Would a waterproof boot work better?

I’ve worked in similar jobs where you’re on your feet all day, so I understand focusing on comfort, though.

I would definitely tie both shoes again!

I can see your point, but tying both shoes would never ever have occurred to me as an option (unless I noticed the other shoe getting loose too). So I get your colleagues’ surprise.

I would definitely never own shoes with laces! Slip on shoes only for me!

If my shoes came untied, I’d be extremely confused since mine don’t have laces.

Then my feet will have to ally with the hands when they go to war.
