        I have the ones without the laces...   I really like them.  The
soles are a little soft so I feel the pebbles.  Remedied this by using
hiking boot inserts.  I do a lot of walking/hiking so my calves are thick
and there isn't room up top to slip pants legs into them;  I just keep them
rolled up or sometimes just let 'em get wet.  There is a strap and buckle on
the top, and the neoprene skin on the inside is grabby.  Clamps nicely onto
my wetsuit and greatly helps in keeping water out.  I really like these
things....
