    OK, I used to tuck the laces in and "blouse" my pants in my boots during my misspent youth, But, how DO you tie the laces on them there burkinstuks?

    As my experience in back of boot lace tying an no cuffs come for many years of watching and learning from forest rangers, fire fighters, pulp cutters, and loggers......I tend to follow their lead.
    Seems they settled on these techniques, and has worked for them.

    Fireboots downunder come with Speedzips...............the laces get permanently threaded thru the eyelets on the zipper base to whatever tension is comfortable, I've put a couple of key rings on the zip (makes it easy to grasp) then you just use the zipper to get in and out...........a lot quicker, and nothing to snag in the bush, or on the fireground.

    Back in the 70's had a similar system with Para boots but with a side zip instead...............ordinary 'boots GP' we laced at the back and bloused our Greens over the top, can't recall having any 'issues' ??

    As a structural steel Ironworker I tie my boots with a square knot and tuck the laces in front and don't wear cuffs as well . this helps greatly with tripping problems that are rather critical when working above ground level.

    I gave up on all that and went to old duffer, danner boots with side zippers. Not sure what I'll do in a few more years when I can't reach my feet? LOL
