Barefoot Boot Eyelet Wear: Factory Diagnosis and Fixes
Short answer: boot eyelet wear can start as eyelet rotation, pull-through, upper tearing, coating damage or lace abrasion at a sharp edge. The factory fix should control the hole, eyelet geometry, setting process, backing reinforcement, lace compatibility and load...
