People on the internet have made it a point to investigate why the holes are there. What seems to be random decorative holes, actually have a very specific purpose for being there. Aside from allowing your feet to breathe when you are not wearing socks, the holes are also meant to be used for “bar lacing.” This method allows your shoes to be tighter around your feet. Take a look at this step-by-step tutorial. You can share this trick with all of your family and friends.The two holes in the popular canvas shoes have a specific purpose.
Bar Lacing allows you to make your shoe fit tighter. Unlace the first two sets of holes at the top.
Pull one lace from one end and pull it across to the first hole near the toes. Pull it back into the second hole.
