You are doing the knot up incorrectly. There is a weak and a strong form of the simple bow.
-
You can still get cotton laces, even better in waxed form. But as James says, there’s a more and less secure way of doing a basic bow knot.

Tie them up and tuck them in to one of the loops between the eyelets.
Started doing this with lace-up cycling shoes for obvious reasons and do it with all me shoes now. -
Watch the video on how to tie them, that will stop them coming undone.
Once tied just tuck them into the top of your sock, that way the only piss they soak up is what runs down your own legs.

Shoelaces. I’ve started hating the poxy things.
Once upon a time, shoelaces were made of cotton (or similar) and were the right length. They stayed done up and weren’t so long they touched the floor or got caught up on stuff. Now they’re so long they dangle in all the piss on the pub toilet floor and they’re made of some nylon fibre with a coefficient of friction of about 0.000000001 and the fuckers never stay done up. They’re even like this on all of my safety boots where you really don’t want to be getting tangled up on stuff, because you’ll trip up and die. THE FUCK.
