It is time for me to replace my badly worn out hiking boots and I noticed that some of the newer boots and shoes, particularly running style and low cut models, have the shoelaces off center to the outside of the shoe (off the instep). Any idea what that is for? I assume it lets you wear tighter possibly without crushing your instep and cutting off circulation? Seems like a weird design. All I can think about is grinding the shoelaces and knots off on rocks, hooking the laces on tree roots, etc on the rough terrain of the Whites.
Just curious if anyone had noticed and what the logic for that might be.
