I have always wondered what purpose the lace hooks serve, as I find the normal lace %26quot;holes%26quot; much more convenient.
What purpose do the lace hooks have.
Why are there always lace hooks at the top of walking boots rather than the normal lace %26quot;holes%26quot;?
you can tie the laces much tighter with lace hooks. you wouldnt want to loose a boot while walking through wet or marshy ground would you.
Reply:so they are easier to take off or put on
Reply:tightness
and i think also they are like that because of tradition... older boots were taller and you wanted then to be hooked because it was easier to get them on and off
Reply:it enables you to unfasten and fasten the top rows of laces quickly and easily without having to fiddle at poking laces through eye-holes with your cold fingers
Reply:walking boots generally go above the ankle for support when walking. the hooks are so you can easily loosen the laces at the top to enable you to get your feet in and out easily without having to lace up and down through %26quot;normal%26quot; lace holes.
Reply:i reckon they are easier to vary the tightness of laces at the top and they also allow for more movement so the laces can move a lil bit as you bend your ankle. im just guessing tho!!!
