Have you ever heard of the “heel lock” on running shoes? I have to admit, I was quite surprised when I first learned about it but after watching this video, and my life will never quite be the same again.
Thanks to the TikTok video that was shared by Sidney Raz, we get to see the right way to wear running shoes.
It’s actually interesting because I’m sure that the millions of people who watched the video were mostly wearing their shoes the wrong way in the past.
Raz shares a wide variety of life hacks on the social media platform. In fact, it is what he is known for and he is becoming quite popular.
The heel lock video really surprised more people because most people weren’t aware that they existed. He talked about how the running shoes have the extra lace hole near the top and that is what is known as the runner’s loop or the heel lock.
The reason why they created the heel lock is to keep the running shoes from slipping off of your feet. It makes them more secure and it can even help you to avoid some of those blisters that you have been suffering from.
You can watch him thread the lace and then form a loop and bring the lace from the other side through the loop. Otherwise, you tie your shoes as you normally would.
It’s amazing how these little things can really make a difference in our life and without TikTok, we may never have known them.
