Instep straps are riveted to the gaiter, with a removable loop that can be changed in the field.

From Backcountry.com:
"The Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodiles Gaiters are large enough to wrap around plastic mountaineering boots and thick, insulated pants, and the Gore-Tex and Cordura fabrics provide waterproof protection. Outdoor Research made these mountaineering gaiters with three-layer Gore-Tex on the upper leg sections and durable Cordura on the inner leg and boot section, so your pants, socks, and legs stay dry on ice climbing ascents. Plus, your crampons won't snag on the insides of these gaiters. Attach the hook on the Expedition Crocodiles to your boot laces, tighten the top cinch-strap, and fasten the urethane-coated nylon instep strap. A hook-and-loop tab at the bottom keeps the front of these gaiters closed."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"While Outdoor Research Crocodiles are already seasoned expedition veterans, these Expedition Crocodiles were specially made for extended use with bombproof triple-ply Gore-Tex fabric and 1000-denier Cordura along the top of the boot."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Outdoor Research Expedition Crocodile : Like Crocs with even thicker skin, these gaiters are made to function on extended mountaineering trips, in cold weather and difficult conditions. They are larger in circumference, giving you more room for plastic boots and insulated pants. The inside leg of each gaiter is made of durable Cordura® fabric that resists crampon snagging.
