The Lace Straps cover the Laces to protect them from being caught and un-hooked or un-laced, while they also protect the upper laces from being cut easily by the blades.The Elastic portion of the Strap helps to provide a little extra Resistance Tensioning and Tongue Support.It is suggested that they be installed on either the top Hooks to provide more Resistance Tensioning and Tongue Support or they can be installed over the center Hooks to provide a covering and protector to the Laces. Or both if desired.They are usually installed with the Tab end of the Strap to the outside, but this is an individual decision.The EDEA Skate Hooks are more than Double Deep and can accomodate both the Lace and the Lace Straps.
