Have you ever used laced cycling shoes?

Every pair of laced cycling shoes that I've seen has a little elastic loop, in the middle of the lacing pattern, through which the laces are tucked; your hypothetical scenario is a complete non-issue.

I've done this. It's why my twenty-year old Shimano road shoes are still in service.
I have a pair of Specialized laced shoes...I like them so much that I bought a second pair when they went on sale. I've not had any of the imagined issues with them, and have never felt the need to re-tie them during a ride. But the longest ride I've done in them was only 150 miles.
