SO grandpa, the posts about checkin the knot are right on. It should be what the marine world calls "a square knot made slippery" which is sailor speak for tying a square knot but pulling a bight on the last pass instead of the end.

One thing not mentioned yet is to check the laces. In a misguided effort to reduce weight some of the manufactures used a polypropalene lace or some other equally unsuitable bit of trash. These will just about untie themselves. Make sure you have good laces and not some of the lightweight plastic bits of trash and you may find they stay tied much better.
