Today, the buckle is most commonly used for belts, although it is still used in shoes and particularly boots. Tanker boots employ the use of buckles because of the disadvantages of laces.
Buckles can also be seen on backpacks, watches and other wrist jewelry, or for ornamental purposes on other various objects. Buckles are also commonly seen in modern gothic fashion.
Ornamental Buckles
Buckles of completely different design, buckles usually made of plastic that fasten onto a strap in two places and clip together, are increasingly used.
A buckle can refer to a seat belt or safety belt, as in the term, "buckle up." This originally military phrase from the cavalry refers to strapping the saddle to a riding horse, which means "get ready for departure".
In Canadian heraldry, a buckle is the brisure of an eighth daughter.
