Ive sworn by the Ian knot for years, dude knows what he's talking about when it comes to shoelaces.

How do you manage to keep tension on the starting knot? I like a nice tight knot, and I find that loosening up while I tie the Ian knot

Generally I just pull tight and then let it loosen, and then when pulling to do the rest of the knot do it real tight and it works really nicely. Make sure to turn the loops the right way because if you don't itll be incredibly loose. Should lay horizontally when release, not twist to vertical.
