In addition to the regular strap, the back-loop kit has an extra long leather strap (24 inches/63 cm) which attaches to the back of the upper at the heel, and loops around the high ankle area.

Please note:
The kit comes with a pair of leather straps and a pair of 10 cm extra strap pieces for the back loop that should be mounted by a professional shoemaker only.
Your benefit:
Support at the upper ankle area
Helps reduce ankle sprains
