New Pro Tip: Make your own Lace-up "track" shoes.
"Track" shoes are called such because they use laces. Why laces? Because normal velcro straps are uncomfortable and don't seat well under leather "sprinter" straps.
You can convert your own using certain shoes. Good candidates use 3 velcro straps or 1 ratcheting strap and 2 velcro straps like these:
You can take a razor or small snippers and remove the seams holding the bottom 2 straps. They look like normal sneaker uppers after you do this.
Something like this:
Then you can use a hole punch and buy some shoelace eyelets and stamp them in.
I did this with a set of Sidi Genius 5s. They were functional, but they didn't have a clean look. I later had a bag maker (who was MUCH more adept at dealing with textiles) do my Fizik R3s and they came out MUCH more professional looking. He charged me like $30.
You can get a Cobbler from your local mall to do this!!
So, if you have an old pair of shoes like those listed above, you may be able to make some laceup track shoes for a few bucks.
EDIT: Here are my Fizik R3
