Are Lock Laces good for MTB shoes?

I end up running my shoes into brush a lot, and have had some moments with them coming untied. And recently I had the loop get stuck on something. So I'm thinking about something like this for my Five Ten Trail Cross Mid Pro shoes. (Which I recommend heartily, great for rough terrain.)



Similar ideas welcome. I have no idea whether these are good for riding specifically, but they seem to have great reviews from hikers.

Next time you get MTB shoes look for models that have the BOA system. I picked these Crank Brothers up with this lace system. The 510 winter mid boots I also bought have big brown laces which I'm not a fan of, but I didn't see 510 offering the BOA system.
