eyelets
Reinforced cord passages
Eyelets are small holes reinforced with metal or stitching, designed for laces or cords to pass through.
Shoes and corsets have eyelets.
The term also applies to small holes in fabric for decorative effect or ventilation.
An eyelet can be the metal ring itself that reinforces the hole: She replaced the rusted eyelets on her hiking boots.
