What to do to keep your shoelaces from coming undone: a penny life hack

19.01.2024 21:39

Shoelaces tend to come untied. It is extremely unpleasant when this happens in damp weather – wet and dirty strings are unpleasant to handle.

Another problem is that you can step on an untied lace and fall.

Shoe manufacturers have not yet come up with any auxiliary devices to combat this problem.

People's ingenuity outpaces techies. It's not exactly known who came up with this, but they say the life hack works.

How to proceed

Actually, you won’t need anything special, just some hygienic lipstick.

Before tying your laces, apply lipstick thoroughly on all sides.

Then tie a knot and go about your business with confidence.

How does it work? Quite simply – the lipstick protects the material from drying out, which is why the laces do not untie themselves.

In the air, the lipstick will become thicker and harder, which will ensure better adhesion of the material.

But this life hack has one significant drawback: you will have to treat the laces every day.
