In the market for new shoes (since 1999 actually - bit slow).
I wonder if you lot have experience with ratchet straps? Are they as durable as plain old velcro straps? A lot of the high end shoes seem to go for at least one ratchet closure and this kinda bothers me. I expect a new pair of shoes to last at least 5-10 years based on previous pairs and the ratcheting jigger looks like a weakness. Shoes are for road use - commuting, touring, racing, etc. SPD probably.
Thoughts?
