After trying a number of difference shoes and and sizes (honestly, I had to keep a spreadsheet with notes) I have narrowed down some new shoes to lake CX218 or CX1-C. They are essentially the same shoe, the same last and carbon sole, the same 'action leather' upper. Despite a slight difference in padding in the tongue and around the heel they both feel ok (at least, while trying them on at home). The difference is the CX218 uses a single boa dial and the CX1C uses laces. I've never had lace cycling shoes so wanted to get some opinions. They do hold my foot a bit better as I can tighten and loosen where I needed it more but I am still hesitant. Any thoughts; laces vs boa?

Personally, I used to swear by boa dials 'cause of the convenience and all. But lately, I've been rocking lace-ups, and I gotta say, they're growing on me. Sure, it takes a bit longer to get 'em just right, but once they're snug, they're snug. Plus, you can tweak 'em to fit your feet perfectly. So, if you're down to experiment, give those lace-ups a shot. Can't go wrong either way, though! By the way, I recently copped myself a pair of Nike kicks, and man, they're solid. So, if you're still on the fence, maybe Nike's got something in the cycling shoe department, too.
