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.
