• How do you find the velcro and lace up versions compare? I've got a pair of the older, velcro style that I absolutely love but are getting absolutely knackered. If I had the option to replace them like for like I would but the lace version seems to have replaced them!

  • To be honest I can't say I notice any difference in sole stiffness and walking experience between the two but I do feel that the lace-ups offer better fit thanks to the adjustability. I thought I would hate having to be mindful of tucking the laces out of the way but the elasticated loop over the lace bed actually does a really good job of this. My velcro ones have been relegated to bad weather commuting and the lace ups get used for all other rides.

  • Thanks for that! I might try a pair of the lace up privateers then. I broke my foot a couple of years ago and it's not been the same since, any shoes I've tried with super stiff soles have just left it in agony after a while.
