Tie Shoes with One Hand !

If the stroke left you with the use of one-hand tie shoes can be a problem but you can:

• get shoes with velcro straps or slip on,
• get elastic laces,
• learn to tie shoes with one-hand.

These videos will show you a trick to tie your shoes with one-handed.

Two videos show to tying with one-hand and only 1-end-of-the-lace (and the other end has a knot).  You lace with 1-end-of-the-lace through all the holes and then pull it tight. Look at the two videos, video-1 & video-2, until you get the "trick".  At first time it will take about 10 minutes to get the "trick", then 5 minutes, ... , 2 seconds!  At the end, you can tie your laces about the same time with one-handed as equal with two-handed.  

Look at video-3, video-4, video-5,  to see how it works hiking/work boots; from nothing, i.e. no laces, to the whole laces with hiking/work boots with 1-end laces.
