So I have tried tying them a variety of ways and with different pressure, but no matter what when I walk it is very painful between my toes where the knot is under the sole. Any advice?
I actually tied my left shoe with the right side version and it felt better between my toes than doing it the correct way. We’ll see if swapping works out for my right foot as well!
That is not really a double half hitch. A dhh/clove hitch never switch direction around the target. You do two half hitches, a knot named girth knot or larks head.
You can cut it off (and heat seal the end of the lace), or do some "huarache macrame" and use it for a decorative touch (see www.xeroshoes.com/tying for some examples)
Thanks for making this video. Before i found it i was trying to set up my left sandal with the right foot video, it did not go well.
Is there a knot that needs to be made to keep the toe end from pulling through from the bottom of the shoe?
Either a knot or a "lace bead" -- see th-cam.com/video/mw6F3rMrj50/w-d-xo.html

+mocswithsox They have other styles you can try that don't have the cord in between your toes.
They now recommend a “bead” as well that works nicely.

Til a double half hitch and two half hitches are not the same not.
What do you do with the extra string at the end?
