Just stumbled on this.
I've always had problems with the length of my shoestrings on dress shoes. I was always struggling to knot my shoelaces with short leftovers, almost impossible to knot. And when I looked for longer dress shoe shoestrings- assuming it was just the size of my feet causing my worries, the next size up was 9" longer.
After watching the videos here, I found the root of my issues: I have been doing it wrong my whole life. Proper "bar lacing" not only looks neater, it uses less string, meaning I have more than enough to make the knots with.

Unfortunately, lacing on the bottom of the flaps is very uncomfortable for those of us of substantial height and, *ahem*, noticeable girth.
Thee feets, you sees, hurts most abominably, when tens of pounds per square inch be pressing on the width of a string.
One might also ask why, in the store for clothes, the clothes for the tall people go on the bottom rack, while the clothes for the short go on the top?
Personally, I'm 5'7" and have been within an Oreo's thickness of 280lbs.

I am about 3 inches taller and the same weight. Incidentally, I am 15 lbs lighter than last year.

Well, my congratulations on the Hobbitish qualities of your feet.
As for myself, I have walked with bare feet on gravel, and would not tie laces underneath the flaps.

I have a new best friend.
Home alone trying to catch up on my Storyhours and decided to treat myself. Bought some Country Style ribs. Smallest package had eight. So, the universe was telling me something I figured and cooked them all. Couldn't finish them. I was giving lil pieces to my daughter's dog, Larry. Then I gave a whole piece to my dog, Chrissy. In the background I hear whimpering and soft barking. Larry wants more and fears I am giving the rest to Chrissy. As I come back to the computer he stands up on his hind legs and does a dance and show for me then sits down and whimpers while looking at the last piece.....
hoh boy.
