RIVETED D-RING

RIVETED D-RING

The metal riveted D-ring is a lacing hardware component mounted on the boot upper with a rivet/post. It guides lace movement and distributes load evenly while delivering high strength, abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection—ideal for hiking, work, and tactical boots.


Materials

  • Stainless Steel : Superior strength and corrosion resistance for wet, gritty, and saline conditions.
  • Zinc Alloy: Excellent formability and cost efficiency for varied shapes and thicknesses.
  • Brass: Premium polishability and plating quality for heritage/outdoor aesthetics.

Surface Treatment & Finishing

  • Electroplating: Bright/matte nickel, black nickel, antique brass, tin-black, imitation gold; nickel-free options available for skin-contact compliance.
  • PVD Coating: Highly wear-resistant premium colors (black Ti, smoked gray, rose gold).
  • Powder Coating / Paint Bake: Matte or brand-specific colors with scratch and weather resistance.
  • Passivation (Stainless): Removes free iron and enhances corrosion resistance.

  • Hiking/Outdoor Boots: Lace guides and top quick-lacing points (often paired with hooks).
  • Work/Safety Boots: High-strength lacing anchors for support and longevity.
  • Military/Tactical Boots: Abrasion- and corrosion-resistant hardware enabling rapid adjustment.
  • Outdoor-Casual Footwear: Functional yet decorative D-rings for lifestyle designs.
