Or to tightly? Or is it the unequality that bothers you? Is it the situation when one knot have gotten loose and you've had to retie it, meaning the laces on this shoe are now tighter than on the other?

This exactly! *****SPOILER***** Skeutenk is the situation when one knot has gotten loose and you've had to retie it, meaning the laces on this shoe are now tighter than on the other. Thanks to Balin especially, and Galfisk, Shez and others. Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 15575 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Tuesday, November 01, 2011 - 9:13 pm:        Good puzzle! And you're right -- I hate that feeling, to the point that if one of my shoes comes untied, I simply retie both shoes. Biograd (Biograd) New member Username: Biograd Post Number: 1892 Registered: 6-2008 Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 - 4:24 am:        I generally tie my shoes loose enough that this doesn't bother me--i.e. having to retie one of the laces doesn't make that foot feel squeezed, it just makes that shoe feel more secure on my foot (which is a good thing). Or else I just don't notice the skeutenk. Kalira (Kalira) New member Username: Kalira Post Number: 769 Registered: 2-2009 Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 - 2:56 pm:        Interesting -- your "skeutenk" and the early neologism "sklurp period" (Peter's?) both about shoes and when they get (re)tied. Any connection between the beginnings of the words, or is that just a happy coincidence?
