fozcycle Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've never seen BOA until I seen it here first (of coarse). They intrigue me. If I find some at a good price maybe an older model, I may buy some.

808nation Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Pound for pound that lace is stronger than tank armor. BOA also guarantee's the lace and dial for life. Good info on the BOA website here. Why BOA? BOA FAQ's Well in that case, I will definitely need to get a pair of BOA's.

Chomper Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I have a number of pairs of BOA golf shoes (I think I am up to 5) and will be all over the ECCO boa shoes when they drop in price. When the BOA lacing is on top of the shoe, there has never been a problem w the system. On the heel, I have knocked them loose on the golf cart while driving or getting in, but I have never had my pants get caught in the lacing mechanism. You can find BOA shoes on clearance. I have purchased exactly one pair of BOA shoes for more than $100, and I picked up a pair of adidas a few weeks ago for under $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymikem Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Alright, I'll be the odd man here. I have used the BOA enclosures off and on for years on bike cleats and on some run shoes. I love the idea. I hate the implementation. But why!??!?! The answer is both simple, and complex. The simple version is, uneven pressure. The more complex answer is that one of the core features of the BOA system, is the very same feature that makes them unlivable after a while. The steel cable and disc do not allow any stretch or give, and require manual adjustments as your feet swell during activity. I know, that is the idea right? In theory, it sounds great, but every foot swells during activity. If you are playing golf, your feet will swell as much as a .25 of a size during a typical round. With the BOA, that means you are either releasing and resetting them, or, restricting blood flow (leading to long term discomfort). Interestingly, even traditional laces have this problem, and it is one of the reasons so many shoes use such short lace patterns. There are options, and you'll find that many runners swear by them. I'm one of them. Yankz and Lock-Laces. Both operate on the same continuous lace idea behind BOA. Instead of the disc, they use a pull and pressure lock. What is different, is that instead of a static lace like fiber, or even the BOA steel laces, they use elastic, bungie style laces that provide a strong enclosure, while still allowing enough give to allow the foot to swell, without creating too much compression. I use them in almost all of my shoes these days, but oddly enough, on my cycling shoes, I've gone back to velcro and ratchet enclosures for most of my riding, and only use the BOA's on my short day shoes (under 2 hours). This was just the type of info I was looking for about the BOA system. I had started a post asking this same BOA question in equipment today (figured the most recent article about the FJ DNA helix talked about shoes being equipment, so that would be the place to post it!), so I am glad I stumbled onto this post. I am going to look into some of the alternatives you posted, as well as the ones others have posted, and see what I think is the best fit for me. I am still curious, does anyone know what the tour acceptance rate/use of BOA is? Just wondering if the tour players are using it as well, or if most are sticking the standard lacing system. Not saying that if tour pros use it then it must be the right answer for everyone, just wondering what the stats are.

I think alot on the PGA are more traditional even meaning that they still use metal cleats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireinthehole Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I say yes! Wow boa has been a revelation so easy and gets a great fit.

I think alot on the PGA are more traditional even meaning that they still use metal cleats. I agree the PGA tour is more traditional, but with all of the young guys coming in and everyone looking for any advantage they can get in sports, if they believed in the technology you would start seeing it take off on tour now. Interesting mention about metal cleats - I hadn't thought about that click-clack noise in a while! I would think that very few, if any, still use metal cleats on the course. I have heardPhil and Tiger were famous metal spike holdouts for a while, but I think even they have converted to plastic spikes or some type of hybrid instead of the full blown steel spikes. Since companies no longer make standard metal spiked models, and they are banned from most courses and (I think) all level of play other than the professional level, I think those have been an easy phase out. And maybe that is what it would take for BOA to take off on the tour - if all companies only made some type of disc system the standard on all the shoes, that would force the adoption rate to go up on tour (if it is low).
