The extra eyelets on shoes. If you loop your laces through them, then you tighten the shoe around your ankle and prevent the shoe from moving around. This way you increase the stability of the shoe, decrease impact loading rates, and prevent your foot from moving about while climbing or descending hills and trails. It's great for jogging and hiking!

So if I try to save your life, but you see that it will make you uncomfortable, can I assume you will pass on the help?
Yes, had me totally confused .
