Keep the lacing under slight tension from the first hook up to the initial knot so that the lacing does not draw back, avoiding friction against sharp edges.  Load & Wear Comparison    Swipe horizontally Shape & DimensionsRecommended Model SeriesDurability & Material PropertiesAvailable LengthsRecommended Boot Type6.0 mm FlatXtra Robust (XR)F6-XR (6 mm)Solid cotton braid with a soft-yet-robust tactile feel;

sharp metal eyelets, edges, and clasps do not cut into the braid, reliably averting fraying and fiber breakage.  Hook & Chafing Protection Comparison    Swipe horizontally Profile & DimensionModel SeriesWear Resistance & Edge AlignmentAvailable LengthsRecommended Footwear Type3.0 mm RoundTear-Resistant CordR3-CS (3 mm)Extremely tear-resistant;
