I also got a pair of these last summer. They are the most comfortable pair of bike shoes I have (I have 4 others counting my bike sandals). The tough has a pocket to tuck the laces in so that need not be a worry. They are cool, comfortable, and work great off the bike as well as on. I keep a bike and set of gear at my office for noon riding and it always seems like these shoes are in the wrong place <G>
