You'll Need:
Tape - Any kind will do if you have enough. I'm using masking tape. This instructable is made for the unexpected event of a broken shoelace, so don't expect masking tape to last longer than a day or two. Plastic tapes are a little more durable, with duct and electrical tape being the most durable.
Shoes - These are what you'll be lacing up.

Money makes the world go 'round, Duct tape holds it together, and WD-40 keeps it turning.

My shoes are getting a little mangy and the laces keep slipping, so I think I'll give this a shot. Seems simple enough and I have plenty of duct tape in a variety of colors. Do the knots hold real well?

no because scotch tape is more of a plastic, if it is pulled tight and gets hit by anything it would Snap

That's awesome! Nicely done, now I should bring some tape everywhere in case my shoelaces burn somehow. ;-)
