FJ Boa lacing system

[Shaunmg]

Got some footjoy Icon shoes with the BOA lacing system as one of my Christmas presents. I like the idea of no lacing up and re-tying during a round. I like the principle of this idea


Not tried on the course yet, saving new shoes until better weather. Anyone got them or got opinions on this system. Only tried walking in house and it seems as if my heal is lifting off the sole inside the shoe as I walk. I am also concerned about thread strength. Could it break during a round for instance

I have a pair of boa Contours, over a year old now and absolutely no problems, I love them

Never liked them. Prefer old fashioned laces. Never felt my feet were ever really secured in them

I find you really need to tighten them up to feel "secure". I like them although sometimes when carrying my bag the bottom of the bag hit the shoe and unlocked the wheel resulting in a loose shoe :angry: Overall they are pretty good but I don't see any real benefit over traditional laces and doubt whether I would get another pair.

I found them to be quite the opposite H.

Initially I didn't like the idea of no laces but once I had them on my feet they were superb. They never loosened for the 11months I had them. I had the FJ Sports.

The next pair of FJs I get will defo be BOA.

I liked my boa, just check the fit as I found my pair about half a size bigger than lace fit

I had boa laces in a snowboard boot. I know others who have had the same. All lasted years with no breakages. I think the thread is up to ambling round a golf course.
I don't really see the point for golf, but am sure they are up to the task.

+1, I found exactly the same

Wonder if that explains why they never felt secure.

Just ordered my 4th pair of BOA Contours. Hate them with a passion.......................... obviously...

Had a pair for ages and had no problems at all with them.

Best fitting golf shoes I have ever had

I have 2 pairs of FJ contours, one with, one without
The BOA ones far outperform the lace ones
