For shoelace knots specifically, this is a personal favorite, especially the "Ian Knot": https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/index.htm

I love running across the occasional person who pays just enough attention to me using the Ian Knot to realize that it was way too fast, and getting that delayed "... wait WHAT" reaction.

That's how you know you've caught a new convert.

what do you think of the Ian knot versus the Ian secure knot?

Both great. The secure knot is the best, secure but doesn't jam, looks good too, but Ian knot ties much faster.

I usually go with Ian knot by default but switch to the secure one if it comes undone.
