A snap-type fastener arrangement comprising: a socket component that releasably mates with a stud component by releasably inserting into a socket aperture of the socket component; the socket component including: a stud-insertion side that generally faces in a direction from which the stud component advances when the stud component is inserted into the socket aperture; a stud-exit side that generally opposes the stud-insertion side and generally faces away from the direction from which the stud component advances when the stud component is inserted into the socket aperture; a central portion forming a periphery around the socket aperture and including a first thickness between the stud-insertion side and the stud-exit side, the central portion including a throat that defines a stud-insertion end of the socket aperture, wherein the first thickness is in a range of 0.102mm (0.004 inches) to 0.203mm (0.008 inches); an attachment base that radially extends away from the central portion and the socket aperture and that includes a first surface on the stud-insertion side and a second surface on the stud-exit side, the attachment base including a second thickness between the first surface and the second surface that is thinner than the first thickness; and a shoulder that provides a transition between the second surface of the attachment base and the central portion, the shoulder increasing a thickness of the socket component, the second surface configured to receive a layer of a bonding agent that couples the second surface to a first textile layer; and the stud component including a stud-attachment base configured to attach the stud component to a second textile layer and an extension member that extends from the stud-attachment base and is insertable into the stud-insertion end of the socket aperture. a socket component that releasably mates with a stud component by releasably inserting into a socket aperture of the socket component;
