To strengthen the eyelet and offer a reliable anchor point for laces, shoes eyelets are put into holes in the shoes. These are usually made up of metal or plastic material. To fit the material and style of the shoe, they come in a range of sizes and finishes. Our offerings are a hole designed for threading a chain or piece of lace through. You thread the shoelace through eyelets on your shoes to fasten your sneakers. While some shoes eyelets are just holes punched in leather or fabric, others feature metal rings that make it simple to thread strings or cables through them.
