View submission: Are my laces a south paw issue?
I used to have this problem; then I read somewhere that tying the knot in a symmetrical manner would solve it. Specifically, the bow part. I dunno if there is anything to it, but it solved my issues.
Take the left and right laces, put the left one over and under the right one to make the initial knot.
Take the lace that is now on the left, make a loop, and drag the current right-side lace through, and snug it up. Done.
I hope that works for you.

That's a square knot and they're better, but I feel like maybe that's the issue tho it feels more natural making a granny knot because we are lefties?
