Shoes vary. Flat laces knot, chunky round ones don't.

Sounds as if you've studied shoelaces and how they knot in some depth :lol:

I invariably find with round laces that the knot quickly unties. I put an extra knot in the bows but even then they seem to work loose. I have largely replaced all my round laces with flat ones.
I don't have much of a problem with them forming a knot when I undo them.

Ok you asked for it. I wear trainers most of the time.

Do they actually count as 'shoes'? I suspect not....

I have one hand in plaster at the moment.
Crocs are a good solution

I must be missing something. :| I want my laces to knot when I'm tying them, and to un-knot when I'm not.

Not knot. (Who's there?)

I wear slippers most of the time. Or wellies.

Next, I suppose you'll be claiming neither have laces...

Does this option:
more than 25%
make the following options redundant?
more than 50%
more than 75%
100%
i find this way stops thin round laces from coming undone:

That image being from the 'macho vibes' website - shoelaces being a macho topic apparently

Oh no! I've voted, but I was thinking my slippers, which are moccasins which have a bow on them. Sorry to ruin your statistics.
