I really want to get into the BOA world. About to pull the trigger soon on a pair

As someone with extra wide feet, BOA was a godsend for me. It really allowed me to dial in the proper fit for my weird feet. It's honestly the only thing keeping me from switching my FJ Countours to the Sketcher brand, as I love their shoes in everything else.

Being in the bike (pedal bike, not motorcycle) industry for almost 15years Im a little skeptical of BOA. I cant tell you how many riding buddies have broken the wires on cycling shoes. Personally, Ive broken 6 wires on 4 different shoes. 

 

Consider a pedal motion compared to a golf swing motion and a pedal motion is almost stagnant. There is little to no torque on the wires and they still broke. Im scared when applying that much force and twisting to them during a golf swing. 

 

I guess time will tell.

I've got 2 pairs of Adidas BOA Boost shoes and love them.  If you're lazy, like me, and want a ridiculously easy way to get your shoes on and off then these are the way to go.  When the round is over with you just pop the little BOA knob, slip them off and I'm in my flip flops in a matter of seconds.

I am currently playing the FJ Flex BOA. It's definitely super easy to use, but a couple things to mention. The twist is in the back and not on top (like adidas) and if you do drills with something behind you or like to clean club with your foot the twist can come unlocked pretty easily. Also you need to do an additional twist after hitting a couple of shots to really get a secure fit. But overall they're way easier than laces and apply equal pressure. I'd just like to see the twist on top and the lock-in function to be a little tougher!

I've looked at BOA shoes but never could make myself spend the extra cash
