It looks like you have a traditional hook in those boots and because the hook is so small, you really have to pay attention when you are lacing the boots.

I have two links of boots I have repaired with these two kinds of lacers. These are not fashion boots, but I have used them for fashion boots when customers have requested a different kind of lacer.

The First Picture below, (they look like "-D") a D with a metal loop wrapped around it which has a hole in it which is then riveted to the boot. Many hiking boots have this kind. You can leave the lace in the loop, but you can loosen or tighten them easily. These speedlacers come in black, brass, nickel, and antique. I have a picture of a motorcyle boot that has them on...If you look at the left picture, you can see the "D-Ring" lacer better: http://hartlandshoes.us/framebts.jpg
*this is a motorcyle boot that I installed an inch build up on for a customer for medical reasons.


The next picture shows a kind of speed lace that you see on lots of hiking boots which is basically a metal loop that can be riveted onto the boot. (imagine " >o ") The ">" has a hole in it for a rivet and the "o" is where the lace goes through ... Right now I can only get them in Black. See the picture in the link below, it shows the style I am talking about. Look at the boot on right, you can see the lacers better. They extend beyond the edge of the leather, so the lace easily goes through it. http://hartlandshoes.us/BatesBts3.jpg
*this is an army boot that I resoled.

I hope that you can understand my illustrations, however crude, the pictures are better.

Hello Everyone ;

I had that problem too .

but the laces were long enough to turn them a second time on the same hook .
so it didn't came loose.
