These are the best "disposable" straps on the market. The reason I call them "disposable" is that after a few socks, the eyelets first start to wear down the fabric around them and then fall out after about twenty socks. This is done on the holes you use the most. If you're hesitating between sizes, the lack of eyelets seems to be normal. With the same size, the belt wears out very quickly due to the lack of eyelets.
