Until 1840, the string holes in shoes were hand-sewn by a sturdy thread. The invention of the first
metal eyelets was a great revolution. The time required for the application of a metal eyelet was drastically lower than the time needed to sew the edges of the hole. Furthermore, the
iron eyelet guaranteed less deterioration of the hole itself.
Nowadays, the eyelet is a
metal detail essential in a
shoe, especially if
sportswear are concerned.
