I've never figured out how to tie my shoes without bunny ears. No joke.

Neither have I, but only because I've never figured out why the other way is supposed to be better. Why is it?

I personally find it faster and easier because I don't have to hold the two separate loops and keep them from unlooping when I tie them.

I suspect it's just culturally seen as the grown-up way to do it and the other way is the easy, five-year-old's way.

It also seems to allow more control over how tight you wish your shoes to be.

I have seen other people do it the other way pretty quickly, but I can't say that it's faster because I don't know anyone else that uses bunny ears.
