Payless

I was never a kid that tied double knots in my shoes, because they never usually untied themselves (that and I was too lazy to take all the time to undo a double knot). Lately, however, I have had to double knot most of my shoes. I will walk about a quarter of the way to work, and feel my shoe getting looser as my lace is untying itself. I think the shoe manufacturers are making shoelaces slipperier so that you have to buy more shoes. Think about it, if shoelaces are not slippery, you only tie them twice a day: once to put them on, and once to take them off. If they are slipperier, they come undone more and you tie them more than twice during the day. This means more shoelace use, which means more shoelace wear, and then you end up buying replacement shoelaces since the old ones are all worn out. I know I have never bought a replacement pair of laces, I usually just find new shoes. So the shoe companies are pushing us to buy new shoes via the shoelaces. Where can you even buy shoelaces that actually match your shoes?
