I want to take this opportunity to remind newer users that they can convert their favorite velcro shoes to lace-ups by having a cobbler cut the straps and punch lace holes or doing it yourself.
Over the years, I've converted 3 pairs of shoes to lace-ups (1 pair of Sidi and 2 pair of Fizik). All 3 had the same configuration: 1 ratcheting strap and 2 velcro straps. I kept the ratcheting strap.
There might be pics in the DIY thread, but I don't have time to look now.
This could be a nice winter project for some...especially if you have some old cycling shoes around.
My absolute favorite track shoes were created this way: 1st generation Fizik R1 (ostrich skin):
