Thanks for the link. Two things I note. One, I've had gators with the bottom strap and they don't last more than a couple of hours walking in mountain terrain. The strap rips and the buckle gets torn. Must be lace under and tie and even they don't last more than a couple of days before the lace needs replacing. I have never had front entry gators always rear entry. Rear entry are better. They don't bunch up around the the front of the foot from excess material and don't pry open when waking though thick torn bushes.
