Surely... wish Inov-8 hadn't discontinued the O-Rocs...
Thanks for lead on the salomons, have REI dividend money waiting to spend, worth a shot.. I used to like their shoes, not impressed with Kevlar speed lacing, these look like conventional laces though..
I agree about the laces, totally a pain, and off trail, just something to catch your foot with.
I actually wound up snapping the Kevlar speed laces on the last pair of salomons. At least with real laces one can kludge a fix in the woods.
I've got a pair of the speed cross varios en route to fill the gap between road shoes and o spikes...
