Mens shoes

On my trip out today I popped into a shoe shop and what took my eye was lace up shoes with a zip on side - I had a look and thought this would do me because at moment I buy shoes with velcro flap due to my fingers refusing to tie up laces.
Has anyone got a pair and if so what do you think - The ones I looked at was Rieker - The other maker I like is Joseph Seibel.

Thanks

Another problem has cropped up -I am shoe size 6/39 very small feet -kids shoes are just a tad too small and mens usually start at 7 - well for the shoes I can afford.
At 79 I am always looking at short term :cry:

New shoes came today.
I ordered a pair of Hush Puppies almost identical to my old ones -Only difference is flat sole rather than heel and sole and the velcro strap is about half as wide again.
Put them on and still got them on -Most comfortable shoes I can ever remember.
May be my old ones were 6/39 and these are 6/40 - Now I am happy with them I will polish them.
