Thanks, I think I will get them and see how it goes. I also like the top/ankle design of the Pearl Izumi X-Alp Drift II and the bungee lacing but was wondering if there would be heel slip?

I once wore shoes with laces on my bike. The laces loosened, and one got caught in my chain. I didn't fall, but it could have been a nasty fall. I immediately bought new shoes with velcro straps and I will not even consider bike shoes with laces. All of my 4 (or is it 5?) pr. of bike shoes have straps. Be careful!

Know what you mean about laces getting caught in the chain! That's one of the nice things about these PI bike shoes... that grey patch at the end of the tongue is actually a stretchy "lace garage" that lets you tuck the ends out of the way. I've never had them come out.

Pearl Izumi Fuel Bike Shoes - love mine
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>
