    In all my time on Facebook, I have never had anything like the video below show up in my newsfeed so many times! I have lost count how many times it has showed up. Everyone is sharing it repeatedly.

    It's ridiculous how viral this has gone. Even more astonishing given it is neither new information nor rocket science.

    My "Ron Barassi" Footy boots had this feature....well over 40 years ago.

    l was a skinny runt that needed all the help l could get to make the "hand me down" big brothers boots stay on my feet after every kick

    I agree with Mike. I was doing this at totalsports when I was a student in 1986-1990. I have been fiddling with laces to secure differently for different issues. Wait I know lets start a viral video on a magic lacing technique to prevent forefoot numbness just by missing a couple lace holes
    Cheers all

    He didn't show, therefore prove that he'd knocked his heel back in the shoe as far as possible, thus rendering any fancy or otherwise lacing technique as much use as a fart in a spacesuit.

    Aloha,

    This just proves what the general public thinks advanced technology is.

    What would be wrong with a high-mid top running shoe to do the same thing?

    Or to ask the shoe companies to stop "mugging my heels" with the anteriorgrade cupping of the heel counter that causes many of my blisters. (some of us suffer from large retrocalcaneal exostosises from Sever's disease) and most shoe companies don't care and don't compensate.

    A hui hou,
    Steve
