New Red Wing laces

I went out to pick up my annual/bi-annual safety boots...

Found these boots.... they are water proof, non-metalic toe (good in winter cold), a super grip soul, and this new lace thing.

Red Wing Safety Boots - 4216 Red Wing Men's - 6-Inch Boot Brown

You twist the knob on the tongue and it tightens the aircraft braided cable that acts as laces. It tightens the entire shoe, and you are basically "tieing" your laces with 2 fingers NOT 2 hands. Plus it never loosens like laces do.

Want to take off your boots? Pull the knob out and keep pulling to put the tongue and put slack to your boot. Kick em off.

All of it is backed with a lifetime warranty. It's super cool. I like em... only negative... where they are made, which I just noticed when I looked up the link. Grrrr
