Yup, the Katana laces hit the market about a month ago over here.
The Miuras are also on my list to try, but I suspect they might be a bit too technical for me right now.
And "narrow heel but toes not too smushed" sounds pretty good; I tend to size shoes with my toes pretty down-curled anyway, so I need to have some circulation left *g*.
The question will be how the toebox compares to the one on the Barracudas. They're all on roughly the same last, but La Sportiva have a tendency to make little tweaks between models, so the Katana laces have some features that the velcros don't.
We shall see. Of course, if the resoling goes well, I may be able to postpone the whole decision completely.
