The Boa Lacing System Receives a Huge Thumbs up From Golf Vacations Magazine: FootJoy ICON Boa

Playing golf this Memorial Day weekend? Terry Ross of Golf Vacations Magazine praises the Boa Lacing System featured on the FootJoy ICON.

“With the Boa Lacing System consisting of a web of cables that tighten around the foot for consistent closure by turning a knob on the back of the shoe, the glove-like fit is one that you won’t find in traditional tie-up lace shoes. Much like the kind of mechanism you see on ski boots, another advantage of the Boa Lacing System is the quick on and off capability of this shoe, along with the ability to turn the dial to tighten shoes during a round.” – Terry Ross, Golf Vacations Magazine

2010 Summer Outside Buyer’s Guide: The Specialized BG S-Works road shoe with Boa S1
Friday May 14th 2010, 9:17 am
Filed under: Cycling News

We don’t like to brag, but we have to agree 100% with the Summer Outside Buyer’s Guide review of the Specialized BG S-Works road shoe featuring Boa S1 technology. Look for the BG S-Works road shoe on top pros during the AMGEN Tour of California, May 16th-23rd.

The S1 represents the smallest, lightest, lowest profile reel in the arsenal of Boa Lacing System products. While still delivering on the durability, uniform closure, on-the-fly adjustability, and secure fit provided by other Boa products, the S1 brings multi-adjustability to a completely new level. Put simply, it allows a “righty-tighty, lefty-loosey” approach to achieving the exactly precise fit in a matter of split seconds.
