    Not heard that about the laces myself - The main concern is overall abrasion resistance & a good firm grip around the ankle to stop the boot sliding-off/protect the ankle in an accident. I've seen lace, zipper & clip boots that comply with the motorcycle safety standard.

    TBH, I somewhow doubt a lace caught in a chain would be much risk - It would be almost immediately mulched by the metal?

    Anyway, bear that in mind when you tie your laces. And tie them properly! :)
