People are discovering what the tiny two holes in Converse trainers are for and it’s blowing people’s minds

OWNERS of Converse trainers might have noticed that every pair has extra lace holes located on the side of the shoe and there are actually two reasons why they exist.

Although the two holes might look like a unique design idea that just make the trainers stand out from the crowd, they do actually have a more practical purpose.

It’s now been revealed that the holes are there to circulate air around your feet to avoid them getting sweaty

As many trainer wearers will know, if you’re walking around a lot, your feet can become hot and sweaty, so the first use of the holes is to help ventilate.

The round gaps can help circulate air around as you’re moving which helps to prevent your feet from overheating and starting to smell.

However, some people do dispute the effectiveness of this function and claim that the holes only work if you don’t have any socks on, which isn’t common for most Converse wearers.

According to some sneaker fans, the second role of the side holes is to allow you to get creative with your lacing technique.

You can lace your trainers in a different way compared to the traditional look a lot of people tend to go for.

Although if you stuff the holes full of the laces, you do sacrifice the ventilation element of the shoe.
