Hooks and eyelets for trekking shoes

The selection of the right metal accessories is really important for trekking and leisure footwear.

Hooks and eyelets must meet high quality standards as they undergo important stresses.


Here are the 5 essential features of metal trims for technical footwear:

1. Resistance
2. Anti-corrosion
3. Use of quality raw materials
4. Compliance with international regulations
5. Attractive and comfortable to use

Moro Minuterie is your reliable partner. We produce eyelets and hooks for hiking and leisure footwear that can combine all these fundamental characteristics.



RESISTANCE:
The hooks and eyelets for technical shoes must guarantee high quality standards: they must be resistant to traction, to thermal excursion and to the progressive rubbing of shoelaces.

Materials such as zamak or plastic have lower performances than a trimmed metal hook very often. For example, zamak, which is an alloy, has poor resistance to the changes of temperature: just at 50 ° some alloys have problems with mechanical strenght. In addition, the hooks in zamak are poorly resistant to torsion and subsequent realignment.

On the contrary, hooks of iron and brass are not affected by the problems inherent in the zamak, not to mention the fact that they are cheaper.

Moro Minuterie produces hooks, rings and eyelets of iron and brass for trekking and technical footwear and sets as its main goale the resistance and reliability of its products.


ANTI-CORROSION
Metal hooks for sports shoes must guarantee high resistance to corrosion. We have specifically designed a galvanic finish that guarantees positive results up to 500 hours in salt spray tests. (Click here to learn more)
This finish is tested and guaranteed by the Satra Laboratories and combines functionality with attractive appearance.

USE OF QUALITY RAW MATERIALS
The use of quality raw materials is essential to ensure high performance in metal trims for footwear.
We select only first choice raw materials that, combined with our more than 40 years old technical experience in the sector, grant our 100% Italian quality.


COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
For us at Moro Minuterie, the respect of the increasingly complex international regulations regarding dangerous substances for human and environmental health is a pivotal point. Our metal trims comply not only with the main national regulations, but also with the European and international ones.

ATTRACTIVE AND COMFORTABLE TO USE
Hooks and eyelets for trekking shoes should not only be highly performing, but they also need to be attractive and comfortable to use both for the shoe factory that applies them and for the final customer.
All our hooks can be applied by automatic machines and allow a significant application time reduction on the shoe-uppers.
Our catalogue offers a wide range of choices: the most varied shapes, and finishes and colors that can match any shoe-uppers. We propose colors in line with the latest fashion trends every 6 months.
