Was going to suggest the same, I'm a big fan of them. Tried on a pair of BOAs and found them kinda fiddly, I probably would have got used to them but as it happens my feet don't appear to fit in any BOA boots anyways. I always had problems with normal laces, could never get them tight enough, or tight in the right places, and they always seemed to loosen up really fast, and all that is massively reduced with the Salomon ones  Plus they are much quicker to tighten up or adjust when you're out. |

| Or you can look at the lacing system on Salomon boots - much better than conventional laces. |

| Rode the Vans dual Boa thing last season (Fargo Focus?) and the boots were poo, but that's the boots not the Boas. They seemed real easy to tighten/loosen quickly but the feeling I got was you couldn't customise different ares of tightness like you can with other fastening systems. |

short term holidays boas = perfect
but i had a pair of encores this season and they f*cked up 4 weeks in, the lace loops started to pull away from the sides of the boot and they only lasted another 2 weeks after some mad glue skillz from me. |

I've got the dual Boa thing on my new boots well worth the extra £ for speed and tinkering during the day to get your boot really comfy
Also perfect for really lazy people.

| The boa is a cool idea but to benefit you need to spend serious money on bling boots like matts that have a dual fastening dial, that way you can tighten over the bridge of your foot separatly to the ankle....which is a must in my case. |

| I like the idea of being able to tighten my boots at the spin of a dial. But I don't think u get the same customisation with the boa. |

Been looking at some new boots and cant decide on whether to go for laces or boa, i know both have pro's and con's but whats everyones opinion. Been looking at the 32 Exus (lace and Boa).
Cheers guys and girls |
