The top two rows of hooks are plastic/composite, but the larger one at the articulation point is metallic and cinches/bites down on the laces brilliantly so that the lower half of the boot can stay snug to eliminate slippage while the top can remain loose so your ankles aren't choked.

I have the Salomon Rivertrek GTX boots the top lace hooks are similar to this model and after closer inspection they’re definitely not plastic, maybe coated metal or alloy?
