My bike is shaft drive so I wouldn't have to worry about the laces getting caught in the chain.

That's not why I wouldn't want them. I just know of a couple of people who have had their laces get caught on their shifter. Otherwise they look pretty good.

Harley Davidson also makes a ton of boots so you might want to look at them.

Those laces look high enough to not interfere with the shifter.
I like those boots. I need something that I can wear everyday and to work without bringing shoes along.

It's the loops of the tie that get caught....not the part of the boot where it laces. But they don't look that long so he should be alright.

I would tuck the laces into the boots so they didn't hang out.
