I have a couple of pairs of FJ's with the Boa lace system, and like them. One of the pairs is fairly new (under 6 months) but the other pair are over 3 years old and haven't given any problems at all.
I love the way they come undone at the end of the round, just slip them off like a comfy pair of slippers, no faffing around with wet laces.
Both pairs are slightly heavier than they would be with "standard" laces, but we're only talking of an ounce or two at most.
I'm not a massive fan of the adjustment buttons sticking out of the back but a decent pair of trousers covers them. Despite this, I think the benefits of them far outweigh any negatives.

I've got a pair of DNA BOA shoes, had them for coming up two years without any issues. After being unsure about them before buying, the next pair of shoes I buy will have the BOA system. Easy to use, but the best bit is how quick you can tighten them during a round, lift your leg donkey kick style a quick twist an your sorted.

I have a pair of DNA boa Footjoys.

They are so comfortable but they have 2 major flaws the Boa system has it seems already failed as its now very difficult to tighten them up fully like I could when I first bought them and they loosen as I go around so im always tightening them whilst playing.

Also the front spike is in the most ridiculous place right near the front of the shoe and I have caught my foot in the greens leaving a big gouge in the green my best being at Bearwood lakes putting green.

As a shoe they look great and are comfy but I have my doubts but they do come with a lifetime guarantee for the Boa tightening system.

As an FJ whore I thought I'd love it but tried them on and hated them. Had a pair for about six months and was forever tightening them on the course. I ended up using them for the range until they split

I've got a pair of FJ Sports that I've had for about two and a half years now and they are fantastic....no issues with the lacing system weakening over time and certainly no losseneing during a round. I like the way I can slip them on, tighten them 50% of where I want them, walk in them for 50yds to the first tee so my feet naturally find their most confy position within the shoe and then tighten them up fully.

So happy am I with them that I bought a pair of DryJoy Tours with the BOA system back at the start of the year.

I've had 3 pair of FJ with BOA lacing and never had a problem. I've currently got the hyper flex and they're sound.

I'd definitely recommend them.

Bought a pair as winter shoes, they really are great.

No messing about untying dirty double knots just un-clip at your car boot bang them off bung them in the boot and drive home till next week. :thup:
