Anyone have this?
What’s the cause?
My thoughts: I am told, that I walk with a noticeable hop in my step, this may mean I have one dominant leg, maybe longer.
Slight difference in how you are trying your knots? Starting knot may be reversed. Does the bow sit naturally across the shoe or does it lay unnaturally vertically down the length of the shoe? I recommend learning the Ian’s knot
Don’t take this wrong, but are you tying your shoes wrong?
Without touching them, look at your shoes and tell me which direction the bows are going. Are the ends of the bow pointed to your toe and heel like this?

Or are the ends of the bow pointed to each side of your shoe?

If you have the first one (toe and heel pointing), you’re tying the knot wrong. You’ve got a knot that will untie itself.
Interesting! How do you tie it the right way?
Left over right, then right over left. This creates a proper shoelace knot (aka double slipped square knot). You need to alternate. The alternation creates a self-tightening knot. If you do left over left, left over left (or the other way), then you’ve just done a granny knot, which will fall apart
