I see runners wrapping athletic tape around their shoes while racing in muddy conditions. I know it is to keep their shoes from coming off in muddy conditions, but won't they still come off unless the tape is also attached to their ankles?

Keeps the laces tied?
It holds the spike closer to your foot so when you step in a big mud puddle it is less likely to yank it off when your foot comes up.
