Try the lacing; you may like it. It takes a while to figure out how to tighten them and still keep them even, but once you get it, it's not all that difficult.

As far as the rocks go, I'm even referring to something someone has inadvertently dropped on the dance floor.
I will definitely try that style of lacing, thanks! And I definitely agree about the practicality of a more substantial sole...

Here's a cap toe with four eyelets that is similar to the Grenson "Bert" (5 eyelets) I posted above.
