Wonder if they do the same job as these on my Hanwag Tashi's
The lace glides really easily here which makes for a more even and adaptive pressure over the foot
The rest of the boot has regular hooks that fixates the lace
I was a bit puzzled about this at first, but it works incredibly well. It means I can have a slightly loser lacing over my foot and then lock the laces down at the next hook to make sure I get good heel grip, then I can adjust again individually on the top 3 lace points
Maybe. They do glide nicely, but they are on the top. Current version of the boot model has regular speed hooks.
The boots I have appear to be for the japanese market only so it could be a regional preference.
