I have some Lowa zephyr Hi GTX boots, they have closed loops for laces instead of open ones and I feel it is harder to get the laces tight enough because of that. Does anyone know if a shoemaker (don't know if there is a better word in English for a shoe repair person) could change the eylets easily to open ones?

Googled and apparently the term is speed hook :)

There’s a cobbler’s shop nearby, guess I’ll just ask there for a quote and if it is possible / worth it. The boots don’t feel bad but sometimes I’d like a tighter lacing.
