Why pack manufacturers haven't figured this out yet, I have no idea. HMG at least have the zip go forwards then down, which (mostly) negates the issue.
I also would like to be able to buy regular walking boots that have some flex in the sole but also won't disintegrate their uppers within a year. Apparently you have to choose one or the other
Hooks for gaiters should hook from underneath your laces, not above. Rab actually do this, and its great - they never shift or come unhooked. Alas their gaiters are lightweight and have a lifespan measured in months.
