How to stop your heel from slipping out of running shoes?

Stop your heel from slipping by using the heel lock method. After lacing up to the second-to-last eyelet, thread the lace back through the very top hole to lock it in. This creates a secure fit around your ankle and keeps your foot steady during every stride.
