Didnt see the lace thing but i think nicks is/has came out with no lace elastic boots whatever that style is called

Id recommend any of the pacific northwest brands. Ie, Nicks Handmade Boots, Whites, Franks. I can only speak for nicks customer service but as a nobody I was still EASILY able to get in contact with the owner of Nicks Boots on questions about there boots. I recommend nicks overall from my experience
