Re: Drysuit Boots w/Velcro
I think I know what you are talking about :-\

The closest to what you are looking for are the Whites boots.  The current version does have laces, however if I recall correctly they are bungee material with a tab on the end.  You slip your foot in, pull the tab, hook it on a matching tab on the boot then Velcro the top.  Quick, easy and very secure.

The sole is very substantial, great arch support and very well made.  Long story, but a friend of mine used those to traverse a marsh.  Even though the mud was thick, he did not loose a boot and the sticks and reeds did not hurt the boot. 

I have an older style of Whites with the same great sole, but it has regular laces.  Once I get the undergarments on, drysuit pulled up it is a chore to lace up the shoes.  I am probably going to upgrade this summer to the new style.

I got mine at Smith Diving, I am sure they have some for you to look at.
