If you’ve ever purchased hiking boots or anything comparable, you may have observed that the shoes have additional eyelets. Even though you may have believed that these eyelets were an error or that they were merely decorative, they serve a purpose.

Your shoelace will be long enough to fit, so don’t worry about using the eyelet to tighten it around the ankle. By doing this, you’ll have much greater stability and won’t have to worry about your shoe moving while hiking or climbing. If you’re in the woods, a twisted ankle can be very dangerous, so it’s absolutely a good idea to tighten the shoe with the extra eyelet.
