Deck shoe knots

[Guest]

Some months ago there was a reader's letter / tip on the best method to ensure that knots stay tied on deck shoes.

Does anyone either remember this article (probably in PBO, but may have been Sailing Today) or have any tips.

Thanks

Prior to use of my new deck shoes, I always change the foolish leather strings to conventional ones.
Thats it!

Given that they kick on and off without the laces needing to be touched, a dab of Loctite (or other superglue) does the trick nicely.

Thanks for this - I shall do the same!

I have found the best method to be a granny knot with what I think is called an admirals knot at each end to take up the slack - they look tidy and haven't come undone for at least six years!!!
