My new shoes, of the light walking variety, have laces of excessive length. Even after double knotting the surplus ends flap around alarmingly.
They remind me of the old football boot laces that were manufactured to a length that enabled them to be tied once, then looped a couple of times round the sole, then threaded through an eyelet at the back of the heel before a final securing knot was tied on the instep. By the end of the game, they became a muddy mess impossible to untie with fingers numb from cold.
