The shoelace is simply a strap on the shoe for adjusting the tightness of the vamp, is an indispensable part for most sports shoes, has a crucial function, and is mainly used for fixing the inner and outer upper surfaces, adjusting the tightness of the shoe, protecting the safety of the foot, and the like. The tightness of the shoelace not only affects the comfort of wearing the shoe, but also may cause injuries. The related literature indicates that the force, ground impact force, instep force, stability, etc. of the metatarsophalangeal joint and the bones of the foot can be greatly changed by different lacing modes and tightness.
If the shoelace is too loose, the mobility of the foot in the shoe cavity is larger, researches show that the sports shoes with the feet can prevent sports injury and increase the comfort of sports, and the shoelace is too loose, so that the wearing of the shoes with the feet can be reduced, the shoes can not play a role in protection, and the risk of the feet being sprained can be increased. Moreover, studies have shown that excessive loosening of the laces can easily cause fatigue, resulting in the occurrence of fatigue damage. Too loose shoelaces can also cause deformation during use of the shoe, thereby reducing the service life of the shoe.
Too tight a shoelace can also affect the blood circulation of the foot, especially the compression of the instep, so that the nerves and ligaments of the instep are pressed to cause the pain of the instep, the motor function of the foot is limited, even the abnormal toe or the dysesthesia occur, and the risk of foot deformity is easily increased due to the too tight long-term shoelace. During the sports, some players often tie the shoelaces too tightly for pursuing the speed, so that the feeling of tightness of the shoe to the foot during the sports is increased, which is one of the main reasons for blackening the toenails. In addition, the shoelace is too tight to enable the blood circulation to be unsmooth, heat cannot effectively reach the foot, toe swelling can be caused, and the frostbite probability is easily increased under the condition of low ambient temperature.
Therefore, the damage can be caused by too tightness of the shoelace, the tightness can be adjusted only by subjective perception of people at present, but the subjective perception functions of different people are different, the accuracy is also different, not all people can adjust the shoelace to the optimal tightness by means of subjective perception capability, and the shoelace tightness can be changed along with the increase of time, but people often neglect the change and cannot readjust the shoelace tightness in time.
