I've got a theory (although that's stretching the use of the word, for what is just an opinion).

Are they ( the laces ) stiff and round? I have the same trouble with a pair of merrels. Theory is round laces have a consistent cross section, so there is little resistance to laces sliding over each other. Flat laces, on the other hand, are pinched when tied, and it's the change in shape that stops them pulling through. I've noticed that soft round laces don't come undone as much, as they can be pinched a bit as well.

To sum up, I'm happier to blame the laces and keep retying them than do remedial shoe lace tying training.
