i just bought a pair or korker boots that have stainless steel laces and no knots (there is a locking ratchet thereon). too new to know if I like that system or not . [/quote]

Garthman, are those BOA lacing system boots? How do you like them so far? They're starting to put them on everything... ski boots, snowboard boots, wakeboard boots, regular hiking boots, etc.
