I see that there are strings dangling from my shoes which interfere with my walking when I wear them. I've been told that these strings, or laces, ought to be tied into a knot or bow to help hold my shoes on my feet.
At first I resisted this advice because I don't always want my shoes on my feet. Like when I take a shower, I would want to remove my shoes first. But I'm told that these knots or bows are not permanent and I should untie them and retie them each time I wear my shoes.
I know it sounds crazy, but it works. Tying shoe laces is easy; anyone can do it.
No more tripping for me when performing open-heart surgery!
