  1. 29:05 It's much easier to learn to tie the underlying crossing the other way and keep doing the loop the same way you always did. The simplest way to debug the issue (that is, identify incorrectly tied knot) is to notice that one of the loops points forward on your shoe and another points backwards. Correctly tied knot will always point the loops towards the sides under heavy tension (e.g. after walking for a while).
