Footpeg feelers

Curious, what boots do you guys wear that have laces? I can see how the laces can get caught in the feelers, but come to think about it, a motorcycle has lots of bits that can tangle a boot lace, at various stages of mounting or dismounting.
My main concern would be around home, moving the bike in/out of the garage wearing non-bike clothing. I wouldn't want to get a lace of my best moccasin slippers caught up in one of the feelers and headbutt my drive whilst not wearing a helmet or whilst wearing shorts :)
I agree, wouldn't want that to happen. But if it is going to happen, please do capture it on video. I can see it on one of those Youtube Fails videos.

It happened the first time when I rode the less than a mile to my local dealer - I was wearing Clarks loafers as I was walking back home via a trip to Gregg's for breakfast and Sainsbury's for groceries.  

Wessie, I so badly want to see a picture of this. You wearing loafers, upon your motorcycle and a fresh steaming hot coffee... err, tea? in one hand and paper in the other. And for some reason a sherlock tobacco pipe and hat are popping into the mental image... Yes, That is a front page picture that is truly worthy.

This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

The dual use? Looks quality, I'll try it some time. Excuse for a Yorkshire tour...
I have the Hogg. Richmond is a nice town and it is good to see where the boots are made - you can see into the factory from the fitting area. There can be a 3 month wait for them though.
