How the BOA lacing system works

BOA Lacing Boot SystemTM (BOA Lacing Boot SystemTM) consists of three main components: BOA lacing reel, boot-type tempered lacing cable and extended lacing guide groove. Similarly, the BOA Shoe Lacing SystemTM is also composed of three main components, which are: Steel Shoe LaceTM, BOA Lacing Reel and Extended Lacing Guide. The BOA focusing system includes a CBR winder, CBR reel, focusing tube ankle guide, focusing dual ankle guide and focusing tongue guide. This is the world's first patented focused zone lacing system.

Developed specifically with snowboard boots in mind, the Boa Focus System allows riders to independently adjust the upper and lower areas of their boots. The result is a just-right fit that focuses on the instep closure, the all-important focus area for heel retention. This is the only zone system on the market that offers superior heel retention. Vans, DC and Thirty Two have all launched snowboard boots integrating new focusing systems. Today, riders who prefer a loose fit in the upper area (Zone 1) and a tight fit in the lower area (Zone 2) will no longer do so at the expense of a fixed heel. The same goes for riders who prefer opposite adjustments. The BOA shoe reel system consists of a BOA shoe reel, extended tie guides and stainless steel ties. It is the world leader in precision boot closures.

The BOA boot reel system was originally designed for use in snowboard boots and hockey skates. This system increases the mechanical force so that even large shoes that are difficult to close become easier to close. The BOA Boot Reel System uses a BOA boot reel, extended lacing guides, and aircraft-grade stainless steel laces to easily close some of the most difficult-to-close footwear.

The BOA boot reel system can be adapted to many different types of footwear. Performance fit, ease of operation, and BOA shoe reel fit perfectly when increasing closing force. The BOA shoe reel system includes a BOA shoe heel mount, a BOA tongue mount or a BOA eyelet mount.

The BOA scroll can be installed on the heel, tongue or outer edge of the shoe and can be customized for each shoe, so the closure is perfect. The system gives your shoes a perfect fit. The extended lace guides are evenly spaced so your entire shoe fits, with less lace crossover and fewer pressure points than laces. Plus, you can instantly adjust it yourself. So you spend less time handling your gear and more time enjoying the experience.

BOA shoe reels are designed for use in all categories of lightweight footwear. Shoe reels have been tried, approved and implemented in many types of footwear.
