Default Permanent tie of rawhide shoe laces

I got some moc-style slippers with a rawhide lace. These are much
like the Perry Topsiders I usta wear, which also had these same sorta
rawhide laces. The one problem both have is, once the std shoelace
bow becomes untied, it comes undone constantly. How can one stop this
untying of this bow?

I've considered putting a drop of super-glue or silicone on the knot.
Heck, I've even considered epoxy! What I don't understand is, why one
will come untied, consantly, while the other shoe's lace never comes
untied. Actually, I'm jes looking for a good trick to keep either one
tied. Should I wet the lace before tying? This left slipper is
driving me crazy!
