Additional holes for lacing

If you’ve ever wondered why sneakers have extra holes, you’re about to be amazed. Some people think that this is just for decoration, but the holes actually have a purpose. They can actually protect against painful blisters. Especially when buying new shoes, it is sensible to wear the shoes a little looser by pulling the laces through the extra holes instead of the usual ones. These holes have been designed so that the wearer can lace their shoes in different ways and thus have individual support when walking.

Pom poms

Who would have thought that pom pom hats originated with the Vikings. Back then, in the cold winter climate of Norway, the hats with the pom poms kept the head warm. The pom poms were sewn onto the hat to protect the seams. Years later, people began to sew buttons onto the hat instead of pom poms. However, this did not look particularly fashionable, but more like a small bean. Incidentally, this is where the name comes from.
