The heel-lock (lace-lock) technique isn’t new, but so many people still don’t realise how effective it is! Once you learn it, you’ll want to use it on every pair of shoes. By using the often-forgotten final eyelet, this lacing method helps secure your heel and ankle inside enclosed shoes, reducing unnecessary movement and improving overall stability and comfort.
It’s especially helpful for:
• Anyone who feels their foot slipping in and out of their shoes
• Excessive rearfoot movement or instability
• High impact activities (running, jumping, netball, football etc.)
• Trail walking on uneven terrain
• People with narrow heels/ankles compared to their midfoot/forefoot
