Gaiters cutting boot laces.

How do you like the rhino laces so far? Been wanting to get some but I've been to lazy to measure the current laces on my boots lol. They sound pretty solid.

To early to tell much on the rhino laces. 2 hikes in and they seem fine. A bit stiff is all. I’ve been using the keychain ring for hooking my gaiters lately although I’ve noticed in steep/ kneeling severe toe bending they come unhooked. So I’ll probably be seeing if the rhino laces are as cut proof as they claim:) I’ll keep you informed.
 
Good stuff. I'll probably order some soon. 2 for $20 doesn't seem to bad if they're as indestructible as they say.

This is exactly what I did with mine. But I did it to keep the gaiter centered on the boot, never had the cutting problem. I tied it short so the hooking position on the boot was close to the same.
I should add that I dont tie it like a D-loop, I just loop the D-loop mat'l. through the center eyelet and tie a double overhand knot making a small loop to hook to.
 
Do you have a picture? What type of materials are you using to make the D loop?
I just used some 220 cord which is about the same dia as d-loop mat'l. I loop it thru the eyelet then match both ends together and tie an overhand knot pretty close to the eyelet creating a real small loop (like you would with a d-loop, to be stretched out after), cut it close, fray the ends, and burn and tap to seal the knot just like you would for a d-loop. I'll try to load a pic later if I can figure it out.
