Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the name of the holes in a shoe where the laces pass through?"
...An eyelet refers to the small, often reinforced holes along the upper part of the shoe through which the laces are threaded. These eyelets serve both functional and aesthetic purposes, and are typically positioned in pairs along the sides of the shoes. Functionally, they act as anchor points for the laces, allowing the shoe to be securely fastened to the foot. By allowing the wearer to adjust the tightness of the laces, eyelets contribute to comfort, enhanced support, and improved stability during activities such as walking, running, or playing sports.
