If I had bought them in the right size I might have liked them more.  The speed lace system in this particular model is what initially turned me onto them but I found myself constantly reaching for the laces to tighten the boots down.  I could not dial in the laces like I am accustomed to in a boot with traditional laces.

The speed lacing does make for very quick in and out of the boots so that is a plus, I just don't know if it worked for me.
