You’ve been tying your running shoes wrong your entire life — VIDEO
Whether you’re slipping on your favorite pair, or breaking in some new athletic shoes, chances are you’re going to get uncomfortable blisters on various parts of your feet.
Illumiseen, a safety accessory company for runners, posted a video on YouTube showing the “heel lock” or “lace lock,” which they say can prevent blisters by tightening up the space between the top of the laces and your ankle.
The video, posted last month, made the Internet rounds this week, with most of the comments sounding something like, “I’m off to reevaluate my entire life.”
Most running or hiking shoes have the extra holes used to tie the knot, which requires a looping technique. Now we can stop wondering what those extra holes are for and feeling dumb when we try to use them like regular holes.
Keep that in mind next time you enter a marathon.
