After giving up on my old customs, I ended up trying Sidis, I think they are the Carbon 5.5s or something like that. I gave them a try b/c they have the cable adjustment for tightness on the heel, since I have very narrow heels, & the buckle across the top that is off of their dirt bike boots--it gets A LOT tighter than any velcro strap if you have narrow, flat feet. they work great, & they were only about $250 on ebay.
