Over tight shoelaces

colin

I'm not sure if this is neurodivergence related or not so here's the question.

I keep overtightening my shoelaces. I think I've always done it but recently been trying hard to not do it. I always do left foot first. Sometimes after doing it, I'll think it's too loose so I do the right tighter. I don't know if I have slight pain insensitivity or something but it often takes me some time wearing them to realise that something isn't right.

Anyway, the question: normal or not?

  • For me, it's making them exactly the same, or trying to. So I end up going tighter and tighter but it's because they are not equal. I prefer boots with a zip as you can tie the laces exactly the same but then just slip them on and off with the zip function, I have fake DM's to add context. If I wear my walking trainers... different story, one trainer has a tongue which sits differently, drives me crazy as I can't get them to feel the same or 'right'.
