Footwear Perfected with the BOA Fit System

Playing Through: the BOA Fit System ensures that your footwear never lets you down. Unlike laces, the BOA System will never unexpectedly loosen, stretch, or fail. And because you can make micro-adjustments in the tension, you never need to worry about tying and retying your laces until you’re satisfied. As a result, the BOA Fit System is the ultimate “set and forget” system.

You see, at the beginning, there were leather straps. These were replaced with buckles and straps, which were then replaced with laces. However, the newest development in footwear fastening is the BOA Fit System.

Available on virtually every footwear imaginable, including golf shoes, motocross boots, and construction boots, the BOA Fit System looks to do what fire did for the caveman by replacing what has, arguably, become every laced shoe’s proverbial Achilles’ heel.

Indeed, while laces have been the established offering for decades now, the simple truth is that laces aren’t ideal for performance shoes. After repeated swings, laces will slightly loosen, stretch and, after enough prolonged abuse, completely fail and tear. And those are all things nobody wants to deal with on a golf course (especially that last one since it’ll leave you completely stranded).

The BOA Fit System, however, eliminates all of your shoe lace-related nightmares (like trying to tie your shoes in the rain on the coastline of Ireland). With BOA, you never ever have to worry about the tension loosening, stretching, or unexpectedly failing.

And that’s because, unlike laces, the BOA’s TX6 textile lace is specifically designed for a soft feel and long-lasting strength, but also—along with the other BOA Fit System components—backed by a Lifetime Guarantee.

Additionally, with the lightweight Li2 BOA system found on adidas’ Tour360 24 (as well as FootJoy HyperFlex and ECCO BIOM G5, among others), you can not only make micro-adjustments to the tightness but also loosen (with the need for releasing all of the tension and starting over). As a result, the BOA system is truly set and forget while also relieving you of ever having to yell “wait up” to your playing partners while you retie your laces.

The instantaneous and infinite adjustability makes the BOA system superior to laces in every way. They are faster to secure the first time, can be instantly adjusted without (like laces) having to start all over (just click the wheel in either direction to reduce or increase tension), and never ever will stretch or fail after repeated usage. And because you can tighten them while riding in a cart before the next tee and absent any fear that they’ll snap on you (leaving you stranded to play barefoot), there’s a piece of mind that you’ll never get from laced shoes.

Add in some cold, wet, windy weather, and not having to worry about repeatedly stopping to retie your shoes makes you wonder why you haven’t already migrated to golf shoes with the BOA system.
