QD (a year later): I bought my third pair of Hoka’s the other week (Clifton 7s) and the heel felt loose. The guy at Runnulla asked if I do a runners knot? I looked at him funny and he got down and tied my shoe for me and wow, soooo nice! My 11yr old said it was cute to see someone teach his dad how to tie his shoes! 😂
The Runner's Knot has proven ESSENTIAL to my running since high school(15 years). Without the knot my soleus muscle and occasionally the medial head of my gastrocnemius get unbearably tight and fatigued while running. Causing prolonged recovery periods that cripple training. Symptom of my skinny ankles and my running mechanics I suppose...Anyway, GREAT JOB sharing this golden nugget of running wisdom! Truly enjoying your channel.
I had a pair of yellow 2018 kayanoz, after maybe 1300km I upgraded to 2019 gel nimbus,petty similar shoes to be honest but I had so many GREAT runs on my kayanos(being my first running shoes) I still think of them when I think of my running shoes 😍.. PS...I actually had to use google to find out that I have the Gel nimbus now😂
@@Dennis-de1ji I've got 2160km on mine, still going strong. Gonna upgrade in summer 2020 to the kayano 27, but this time one pair for daily and one for running
I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to thank you for improving the fit of my shoes. I didn’t know about this and have always thought I needed to size down and deal with crowded toes. This worked amazingly well.
Love this. I have never heard of a runner’s knot, and now I’m doing it. I have not needed the extra tension in the heel, but the better fit around my ankle is perfect for securing laces and getting those out of the way. I already feel less annoyed. THANK YOU.
I absolutely LOVE the Runner's Knot. It helps give that secure feel to my narrow heels. I learned it from the GOOD FEET STORE while I was being fitted for orthotics. I was a CC runner, back in the day. Having flat feet and now a ghost knee injury from running miles past, I no longer run but enjoy swimming, yoga and pilates, and of course an occasional hike through the woods. Love your motto! So many types of beauty underlie our world and individual existence. Training myself to recognize true beauty everywhere, every day.
I am a master carpenter/joiner I have been shown many many trade secrets from when I was a kid learning my trade skills that I'd never seen, so when someone says they have a much better way of doing something I've learnt to give it a try rather than my way is the best and only way. So I have just put the runners knot in my Nike Air sequent 2s and I absolutely love it to bits mate this has got to be the best thing I've been shown for years and when I'm just popping out over the shop I just tuck the ends down inside my trainers and they stay quite tight great tip muka thanks Paul (wolves).
I never tried the runners knot and it was the first time I see one. I tried on my pegasus 35, that I have a heel problem, and it was great, I didn't feel my heel loosened from the shoe. Thanks!!
I came here to watch a video on how to better tie my shoes, and I still stood till the end of the video. This is my first video watching you and I like it, nothing more nothing less!🤝💯
GREAT JOB sir!!!! I just come across your vlog and I am very thankful for sharing it. I've been running for a couple of years now and tomorrow will be my first time to try this Runners Knot. I think it feels comfortable. Thanks a lot. God bless. from Butuan City, Philippines.
I just learned the runner's know today after one year of running. Shoe laces on my Brooks Ghost is not long enough though. Thanks for this video, really nice to know.
This runners knot really helps. Solves the problem with my new Sauconys. Also love the story about the running coach. Reminds me of the track coach from my club
You have no idea how pumped I am to try this tomorrow! I purchased some Pegasus and I’ve worn them maybe three times this year because of the non stop slippage in the heel.
Just got back into running after years recovering from an injury and this is my first time knowing about this. It really helps a lot and the feel is much better. Thank you Seth. Peace and love from Singapore 🇸🇬
I've just finished my running session (1.30h) and i have to say, i am so happy that i discovered this video, thank you SO MUCH. My asics combined with this knot are fantastic
Ran my first 5k in January 2020 in 32 minutes (not in dedicated running shoes mind you). Wasn't the fastest I know, but I'm more determined this year about running longer and getting faster on different terrain. I love your enthusiasm and encouraging words. Never heard of the runner's knot but I will use it from now on (your explanation was spot on). thank you Seth.
Did it on a easy run just now and it helped me feel the cushion better in the Nike Pegasus 35. I have like 270-300 miles on those so that was amazing, thanks 🙏🏻.
Thanks for the lesson, just laced up my new Saucony Guides with the runners knot for my first time and will test them out tomorrow morning for an easy 6 miles!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve never heard of the runners knot but I tried it this morning and it has been wonderful! Kept my foot from sliding around when I run.
Thanks, I watched this vlog before one of my runs and liked it and ever since I used this knot and it has saved me in two races when my shoe came untied it stayed to my foot just because of this knot.
I use the runners knot on every shoe, every day (except Salomon quick lace shoes). Like you Seth it was 20 years ago at a small local running shoe store in Lincoln, Nebraska the owner showed it to me and have used it ever since!
I just heard about it and came across your video. I think I wondered what that extra eyelet was for but never gave it any mind or use! I walk a lot so I’m definitely going to try it next time. hopefully this knot will help prevent the shredding of the back of shoe.
Funny thing: I bought new shoes today and the shop assistant just used this method (but only on one shoe). When I was home I thought I have to use this knot on the other shoe aswell. I figured it out myself after a while but I talked with myself the whole time like you do, when you try to figure something out (or because I´m weird lol). At the end UA-cam recommendation did a great work with hearing my voice through my phone and brang my to this video :D Thank You :)
I have the problem of high arches so I have been using a gap lacing system, basically using traditional cross over apart from the middle section. This stops the laces digging into the top of my foot which can cause numbness. But then I had the problem of the heel slipping. I'm going to try this too, thank you
Thanks for this message. I was just diagnosed with bursitis in my left ankle. I’m told it is because of my heel slipping in my new New Balance 1080 V11’s. I think this little lesson will help. THANKS
This video probably single handedly kickstarted my career. I was forced to get into running in very early 2020 as I had just enlisted in the USMC. I knew absolutely nothing about running form, shoes, cadence, etc… after much trial and error, I stumbled across this video and suddenly, I was able to run without injuring myself and was able to shave valuable minutes off my run times, allowing me to eventually handle the stresses I would later endure. With that being said, thank you for providing great content that really does help people :)
Knot! I learned aboit this freshman year of high school, it was like some secret tip the upperclassmen knew. I havent used it since because my shoes feel fine and I dont like them too tight, but maybe I'll give it a try on tomorrows trail run 👣 🏃
I believe I first heard about this knot like last week from EddBudd but I googled and your video came up, kudos to both of you. I legit have a Top 5 as far as running channels go and the 4th and 5th kinda fluctuate a little but your channel has made its ways up there, Thank you man.
I tried this on this morning's run, and completely changed the way the shoe felt. I know correlation doesn't equal causation, but today I also ran a 10k personal best! Definitely recommend this method.
Thanks man, I love the control i have on my shoes after this knot.. like after miles of running they are still as tight as i knotted them before the running.. much love 😍
A must for my narrow heel! Couldn’t figure out why every single shoe wasn’t fitting quite right and my feet kept slipping (I lost SO many toenails before this). Like you, a running store rep taught it to me (also had no idea it had a name). What a game changer!
Hey Seth.....I tried out the knop yesterday during my run Boy it made a HUUUGE difference.....i had more stability....got into my stride quicker....my legs and feed barely got tired....achilles tendon did not get sore on the long run it feels like my foot was stikking to my shoes it was AWESOME..... THANX Again Seth!!!

Wow..there is a limit to the coincidence🤣
Thanks doooder. I have one foot that’s larger than the other. This helped and made it all more gooders.
I’m training for my first 5k and this made running feel so much more secure because of the ankle staying down. Thank you so much!
Brilliant Hector, so glad it helped.

Well thank you Lawrence, thank you! Wow, that’s amazing how much the Runner’s Knot helps you, incredible 👍🏻👍🏻
It works! Thank You!!! Love Your videos!!! Keep up the great work!
I joined a running group at my gym and they all where talking about this knot so I decided to check it out
i was almost about to throw away my asics kayanos because of the slipping in the heel, turns out i wasn't lacing it correctly
saved me 160$
Chuck The Aviator jeez u probably have a load of rainbow flags in ur room
@Chuck The Aviator says the guy who paints his room full of rainbows

Crazy how many people don't know this... It's a GAME CHANGER!!! Thanks for the great content!!!! Cheerz from Swiss...

I began to run daily almost about the same time you launched this video, and thnx God I did it. Since then I've been using the runners knot. Thnx Seth
Great tip. Something that many fitness runners are not aware of. Throwing a shoe going up hill will get a chuckle from the guys from behind.
Wow! What a difference!
Thanks!
Good to see you guys in the world without pandemic.
Just discovered this! And it solves an additional problem of many of my shoes: overly long laces 🤬which drive me nuts. I can’t wait to try this!
My problem with shoes typically is that the laces are barely long enough to double knot much less do a runners knot.
🙂 me too.
@@briansimon1263 Good running shoes have laces long enough to do a runners knot.
Runners knot healed my tensor tendinitis in no time while I was still able to run. Absolute must for running shoes.
Every video about running for beginners should include this in it's intro!
Worked great. All these years and I have been missing out. Than you

been doing this knot forever. It works awesome.
Yesterday, I've tried the runner knot and It's really useful. Thank's a lot. 👍
Just started running not long ago, thank you for the guidance on how to do a runner’s knot!
Ok so this has completely changed my running game for good, can’t believe I have been missing this out
Seriously I never would have thought my feet can feel so good after running. Thank you thank you thank you

You did such a great job explaining this tie method, thanks!
Never heard of this knot before, but I know it now. Thank you!!!
Thank you. I am not a runner, but have chronic pain and hyper mobile joints and this tip really helps.
I never tried the runners knot and it was the first time I see one. I tried on my pegasus 35, that I have a heel problem, and it was great, I didn't feel my heel loosened from the shoe. Thanks!!
You’re welcome Frederico!
Tried it out twice this week. Game changer.
I never heard of runners knot before, and I'm about to go run and use it. thanks for sharing.
3:15 is where this video should have started IMHO.
Thank you
thanks g
God
Thanks
You are amazing
I came here to watch a video on how to better tie my shoes, and I still stood till the end of the video. This is my first video watching you and I like it, nothing more nothing less!🤝💯
I learned something new! Going to use it today on my run. Thanks! I'm 43 years old and never knew this.
I came back to running 6 month ago and I had not heard of the runners knot. Thanks for the video. I will certainly try it out Seth.
Never heard of of the Runner's knot nor tried it, but definitely will on my next run! Thanks for the tip!
Tried it for the first time today on my Vomero 14 after watching your video and it worked great. Thank you! Hope you get well soon.
I just tried it. I'm a trail runner using altra shoes. I did this knot on the right shoe ,normal on the left. Wow! Big difference. I'm a convert!
GREAT JOB sir!!!! I just come across your vlog and I am very thankful for sharing it. I've been running for a couple of years now and tomorrow will be my first time to try this Runners Knot. I think it feels comfortable. Thanks a lot. God bless. from Butuan City, Philippines.
First time trying this knot it does make the difference thank you
Holy Mama.
I will use this knot for my futsal shoe.
Thank you sooOOOoo much for this video tips.
Thanks. no one taught me till I saw this video. much needed..will try it tomorrow
I just learned the runner's know today after one year of running. Shoe laces on my Brooks Ghost is not long enough though. Thanks for this video, really nice to know.
Yes and it was great. It's prevent the slippage around the heel area and shoes feel more snug.

🙋🏼♂️ I've used it for a month now it feels awesome 😊 and good easy to use

Rick Valdivia Keep going man!
Hey awesome video very helpful I came here for for football boots rather than running shoes but the difference is amazing thank you!
I wear Vomeros and have been struggling with them coming untied on my runs. I just tried this and VOILA! OMG this is awesome! Thank you sir 👍
Sweet!!!!
This is the first time I hear about this knot. I'm about to go out to run. I'm gonna try it.
Did it on a easy run just now and it helped me feel the cushion better in the Nike Pegasus 35. I have like 270-300 miles on those so that was amazing, thanks 🙏🏻.

Small world! A kind woman at Runners Roost taught me this just two days ago. 👊🏻👌🏻
I forwarded the Runner’s Knot video to my athletic daughter who is in College track out of State.Why and How to Tie. Thanks Seth
Thanks, I watched this vlog before one of my runs and liked it and ever since I used this knot and it has saved me in two races when my shoe came untied it stayed to my foot just because of this knot.
Thank you! The only problem I had with my Altra Duo's was the slightly loose heel area, and this solved that problem! Now they're the perfect shoe!
Never heard of the runner's knot and I will start using it now. Thanks
I use the runners knot on every shoe, every day (except Salomon quick lace shoes). Like you Seth it was 20 years ago at a small local running shoe store in Lincoln, Nebraska the owner showed it to me and have used it ever since!

Great video. Thank you Seth. I will be using the runners knot in future runs.
Thanks for teaching this, I am going to use this on race day
Thank you. Yes the lockdown is tighter.
This video guided me through my first runners knot! thank you so much Seth. amped to go run - new hoka clift8s, super snug!
Thanks I was using it previously and had stopped for few years. But now I will use it again because I like snug fit.
Perfect. Feels like I found a treasure. Thank you very much mate.
I am going for a track workout and I will definitely try the runner's knot. I think I will love this because I struggled a lot with slipping heel
Awesome 👏🏻

Thanks big dog, I will try this tomorrow.
Thanks for showing me the runners knot.
Thank you so much man you have no idea how thankful I am for this as random as it may be looooool
I bought a pair of shoes this year and the store employee taught me the runners knot. Its changed everything! Shoes fit so much better
Thanks bro it’s such a better feeling
this blew my mind!! thank you so much for making this!! worked for my training shoes too!!
you're welcome Evan!
Went to the shoe store and the lady told me about this knot. Found you on you tube and thanks for the lesson.
Thanks for tuning in
Thank you Seth for sharing, it works and and I did it with all my shoes.
Wow I don’t know what to do with last hole closed to the ankle part. Now I finally learned it. Thanks 😊

Brilliant Johann! Glad to hear it. 👍🏻
This is amazing my foot feels like it perfectly fits in the shoe, I tried running and walking around a bit with it, it's amazing
„That nice lockdown feel“ Oh! My God… I thought it was not so nice that feeling we all had to go through 😂😂😂
Just stumbled on your video! Great stuff! I will try it tomorrow ! thank you so much!
