I’ve been tying my running shoes like that for the last 35-40 years. Trained and ran 12 marathons and never a problem!
What I will say is. 1. I've never had these issues with my heels slipping or the other problems stated, because I've always had my shoes professionally fitted, 2. I have NEVER done up my shoe laces this way, just the standard way I was taught when I was a wee nipper and 3. Personally, I deliberately DON'T thread my shoe laces at the top eyelet because I prefer free motion from the step-off, can't stand my heels being buried in the back of my shoes.
But on a side-note, the presenter is cute.
My Nike running shoes kept coming off my foot whenever I ran in really fast speeds. So this is really helpful for someone who runs really fast. I get why you wouldn't need this advice. When I'm jogging it fits just right
Thank you Coach Morgan for this demo. Your instructions were clear, and simple. I just got a pair of Books in the mail today (never ran in Brooks), and thought they were too small. However, once I did the “heel tap” I had enough space b/w the toe box and my big toe. What a difference these minor iterations make ! 😊
It was the cat for me 💁🏾♀️😂
This was a game changer for me. Thank you Coach Morgan and @therunexperience. 29 miles, 5.7k ft vert today, and my Hokas fit perfectly today. Locked in!
The runners knot does help a lot, but I wouldn't say it works on every shoe, sometimes the fit of a particular model just doesn't suit your feet 👍🏃
It won’t work on the Nike Adapt BB 2.0 (self-lacing shoes)

That was so cute, I want to get a cat now! I started using the runner's knot last year, and it really does make a major difference in keeping my feet secure, and not moving around. Thank you for this informational, and adorable video!
I haven't had issues with my road shoes but on trails, because my shoe strikes the ground at many various & unpredictable angles I've felt some concerning movement within my shoes. I had recently watched this video & yesterday did hill repeats at a park with a lot of roots, rocks, & unsteady gravel so I gave it a try & it felt great. I felt more stable in my shoes, almost like being in a pair of hiking boots. Thanks Coach Morgan.
Lace tying tip: Loop one lace around the other and bring it underneath itself, in the start of the knot (ie. don’t cross the laces over each other, as the first step). Then make your loop and tie around it as you normally would. It keeps laces tied like double knotting, but is easy to untie.
🤯 thought some level of foot movement was something I’d have to put up with. Tried this knot and it improved an already well fitting shoe. Foot movement kept me from really pushing my pace. Can’t wait to test this on the road. Thank you for the video.
UA-cam taught me the runner's knot a couple years back - definitely a game-changer for some shoes that just wouldn't otherwise work! Glad you're putting it out there as many still don't know about it. What's weird to me is that some running shoes out there are still being made without the extra eyelet. Not many, but they still exist!
That's because the extra eyelet is redundant.
I am so glad that I found this video! I have wide toes and a small heel. As a result, all of my shoes slip at the heel, leading to incessant blisters. This trick really helps, thank you!
Ur smol emmy 😊
Thank you for putting this out. I think we have very little demo about the runner's knot and I don't know why. Hopefully, this reaches a lot of runners. This is a game changer when I discovered this.
I learned this technique 10 years ago and it helps a lot. It is nice that you are sharing this to people.
I run a lot because of being in the military. I had pain on my foot so I went to a shoe store that measured my feet, the lady did this method of tieing my shoe and It was so comfortable. I’m back here watching this vid because I forgot how she did it. Glad I found this. Thanks
I just wanna say thank you! Even when I’m at home on a treadmill my heels would feel HORRIBLE after running. This has fixed my issue entirely ❤
This was amazing, and so well-explained. Thank you!!
A simple solution to a common problem. Thank you for posting 🙏🏼.
Happy to help
My dad thought me about this knot a couple of years ago. It changes everything!
Thanks for the tips! I am going to try this on my next run. I think it’ll help my heel slippage issues.
Yep, I've been using the runner's knot for a while now. As long as the laces are long enough (the ones that came with my Sauconys are a bit short), it works great.
I have used this on shoes that are a little too big. Worked great, secure around the ankle with plenty of room around the rest of the foot 😊
This was a game changer to say the least! It works for me with both my running shoes and spikes! Thank you for sharing
A few years ago a shoe store guy showed me this knot and changed my life. I’ve only ran in either brooks and ASICS since then but it has worked for all the shoes I’ve used. I highly recommend if you can use this knot, try it out even if you don’t think you need it, it might help.
Same. Made all the difference once Chad at Front Runner showed this to me!
Brooks and Asics for ever
🤯 Thank you for sharing!!! We will definitely start doing this method! Loved your 🐈🤭
I learned this trick from my awesome local running store. (Big River Running in St. Louis) It has made such a difference.
I always wondered what to do with the last holes , so now I finally know. Thank you so much 👍🏻
Just thread your laces through the standard way. This 'fancy' technique ain't gonna make you run faster and it's not going to solve your injuries.
Also when you tie your shoes cross them twice instead of once before making your loops. When you do it this way you will find that by doing the extra crossover and then pulling tight, the laces won't loosen before you make your bow. If you only cross them once, as most people do and you did in the video, the laces loosen before making your bow.
I did this on one shoe and left the other how i normally tie it. WOW mind blowing ! I’m never running without my shoes tied this way. Thank u !!!!!
I feel all smug because I’ve been doing this for years! The other thing that I swear by is slathering body glide all over my feet for long runs. It’s like magic. Your cat is a star!
Really does help. I've been doing this for a while. Great video!
Thank you for the tips coach Morgan your amazing
This is such great information. Thank you. I’ve been noticing lately that my running shoes just don’t fit right anymore. I’m going to try this.
let us know how it goes!
nice shoes & congrats on the 100!
It really does make a huge difference. Many thanks
thanks for this tip! my feet are super slim and basically move around in every shoe but this helped me quite a lot! ♥
being doing this for years, I'm still surprised how many people don't know this!
No secrets here!

I really thought I was going to learn something new with this video.
Thanks for sharing that info. I'm trying it out on my next run.
That's a super smart technique, Coach! Thanks.
I use the Lock Laces brand when the runner's knot isn't quite getting the job done with heel lock. I have a pair on my Vihos and Superior 4.0s. They help give a great hold.
The runner's loop. Life-changing!!
Thank you for doing a video on this!
I am trying this today! Thank you
Hi...thanks for the great tip on how to tie your shoes, but in 2002 Bruce Fordyce published a book Marathon Runners where he demonstrated 4 different ways to tie your shoes for say blisters or black toenails...I totally agree that the way you tie your running shoes makes a big difference!
A game changer! Thanks coach!
Thank you so much!
Runners knot also helps me to have my longer hikes easier. The extra eyelet also has its name of saying heel lock. Even if I don't have a heel lock, I still make the heel lock out of the existing knot. But heck when there are arch supported shoes and I do this. It feels definetly annoying and weird at same time.
thank you. keep up the good work.
How did you know? I was JUST trying to figure this out...trying this out on my run today! Thanks, Coach Morgan!
we’re always listening👂🏼
Best explanation of this yet
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate it.
I don't know why youtube recommended this but first clip I see and I suscribed 😂.
Awesome!! This is new to me!!
i never knew i needed to see a UA-cam video this much!
It works for my shoes! One size down was a bit tight, one size up and there is slippage. This method had just solved my problem.
Brilliant, thank you for sharing Morgan 💞 🎄Happy Holidays🎄 xx Jesse
Thank You, Winona Ryder!
Thank you Coach Morgan, love the kitty 🐱😊
Interesting, my altra shoes are laced with the last lace going into the eyelet instead of outwards like in your video, so the bunny ears end up on the inside of the shoe instead of the outside. I'm sure it would still work?
Thanks for the video :)
Great! Thanks! But, how do I go back in time to lace & tie my running shoes correctly ? :/
Thanks for this
Run on! 😊 your cat made me chuckle 🤣
I've known of this trick but have been stubborn and not done it. But now I wanna see if it helps out with muscle soreness.
And yeah, my right heel slips around in the shoe unless I tie my shoes pretty deliberately.
I never knew of this and the cat was adorable.
Thank u so much
Proper lacing or technques for running shoes.❤❤❤❤
Most welcome 😊
Oh my praise girl thank you so much! You rock!
Coach Morgan...as usual the best :-)
Great, thankls! I never knew what that hole was for.
Wow! I wondered what these extra holes were for! Always nice to have a cat to help out with these things😅
Awesome! Thanks
Awesome thanks
Thank you
My laces ate not tied like this but they run ok , but when I Run my laces seem to tighten on the right show and cause pressure at the top of my foot so it aches when I get home I put them on a bit looser at the start of my Run
do you only do this for running shoes? what about other casual shoes that has the same one extra holes on it?
My ankle was hurting today on my Run I stopped half way round to adjust my show and took the lace out of the top holes and I was better for it and ran more comfortably it's only my right ankle that does not like laces at the top hole
I have a pair of the ON’s and they are my favorite pair of running shoes. I see you wear a diff shoe than that but you a pair in this video. What did you think of them?
I’ve been doing the runner’s loop with my vaporfly ever since and yes, no heel slippage. However, on my last run wearing the cielo x1 with the ugly laces, doing the runner’s loop made the top part of my foot, where I do tying the laces, painful. Maybe a bit too tight? How do I go with the possible heel slippage and not making the top pf the foot painful without doing the loop tightly?! Is there any other way to tie the laces to preven heel slippage?
I love be the cat! 😺❤️😂😂😂
They think they are helping 😺
@@philthehatfilms - but of course they are helping .... or something. 😂
does this help with ankle support also?
What about the sole sliding in the front of the shoe ? It's super annoying when it does that I find myself using my toes to crawl them back it doesn't do that everytime but I notice it does more often when there are a lot of elevation changes
U saved my life thank you
the most important thing is to free the toes and skirt the ankle moderately tightly to prevent slippage. so the ideal tie is an A or an inverted V shape along the laces.
I was in my 2nd-ish year of running before I found out. About 7 years in now. It certainly helped, especially for my narrow heels. But it does not work for all shoes.
RC elite V2,, runners knot gives me lace bite because tounge is so short and thin.. no runners knot gives me heel slip
Is it bad also on running laceless shoe?
The outtake at the end 🤣❤️
I hope it helps me. My problem is untied shoelaces.
Thanks
One of my cats also loves shoelaces, only gym/running shoes tho lol
Where do u get those socks? Look nice and doesn’t seem to slide down...
I've got the other problem, I volunteer at a Cat Shelter, how do I get the cats to stop untying my sneakers? LOL, love the advice!
Wow! Thanks.
This is a bummer, I have Altra Escalante 2.5s, not the Race like in the video, and there isn’t another eyelet! I wanted to try this on my run tonight
On some of my shoes I have caterpy non-tie laces (not affiliated - I found them at the exhibition of the Amsterdam marathon 2 years ago, and bought a pair.. tried them out and went back the same day to buy 3 more pairs for my other shoes) and on others I use the runners knot.. I only get blisters on my toes on the shoes that are "my size" so I usually have to buy a full size bigger than normal, and that's with absolutely every brand and shoe that I've tried so far.
edit: if there are any strings attached, the cat will play with them.. (same here)
I literally was just trying to remember how my shoe place (staffed with ultra runners) did my laces back in the summer! Thanks coach! I've noticed that the top of my foot hurts sometimes, and has actually developed a little nodule on the nerve in the past! It goes away over time, but anyone have tips for keeping your heel snug using this method but not having this last place press so tight against tour foot? It happens in both my brooks ghost and my hola cliftons 🙂 (though it's not a huge problem, just hurts after a few hours on my feet)
we hope this can help!!
Interested in trying this. My feet get sooooo beat up from running 😭
i use this knot on most my shoes. My issue is the toe box is to wide and my feet float around causing hot spots yet my length is fine. only had issue since ive increased my distance to 80km's a week
I am trying runners knot in Pegasus 39….and after two days of morning run …around 7km…each day …I am getting pain near top of the foot…where laces are tied tighter …any solution to this ?
This helps fix the shoe scraping your heels too?
Great video and great info. Also, you’re really pretty! Thanks!!
Cannot get this to work. The laces are too short 🤕 ... (NB 1080 v12) ... Have to buy new laces I guess, but the laces are perfectly color matched to the orange shoe. I have to try this though...
