Replacing buckle lace thingies on Wader Boots
Not sure what the technical term is for the grommet / lace contraptions on wading shoes but I popped off about 7 this morning between both shoes. These are not the lace grommet so much as the clip that is riveted into the boot that the laces go through. Any suggestions on replacing these?
Thanks!

Hows your grommet?
John try a yard goods store like Joann Fabrics. They should have grommets for tailered clothes use that would be the same as what you need.
