I'm trying to see if his shoes are tied with a square knot.

I had a friend who worked high steel and cranes and he said his guys used short laces with square knots so they didn't untie easily and if they did the ends weren't a tripping hazard.

I don't know when that started, but it looks like his shoes don't have loops.

Great way to tie hiking shoes, round-section laces work best.
