Ski Boots with BOA®
What is the BOA?
The BOA® Fit System works in harmony with the boot shell and upper cuff on dual-BOA models to wrap the foot and lower shin, providing a consistent fit that reduces pressure points on the top of the foot and locks the heel in place, eliminating unwanted movement.
Ski boots with BOA® technology offer up to 6% improved power transfer and up to 10% greater stability and control in turns.
It has been in the sports world for many years, especially in snowboard boots, touring boots, cycling shoes, golf shoes, and even mountaineering shoes, and now in alpine skiing, a sport where precise footwork for motion transmission is key to perfect technique.
Advantage of the Boa
This system is based on a rotating dial. It offers an easy, fast, precise, and secure adjustment system.
Is it advantageous?
Several studies conducted since 2018 conclude that the BOA system reduces pressure on the foot by 13% while still providing a precise fit.
We especially recommend it for people with wide feet or a slightly high arch, as this system adjusts the entire instep area and distributes tension evenly, without pressure points like a hook.
Although the fit feels very good, we don't dare say it's better than the conventional system.
Is it faster to close?
Despite what is said, for us, the Boa adjustment is simpler and easier when putting on the boot, but not faster; closing it doesn't save time.
CONCLUSIONS
The BOA system represents a revolution in ski boot design, offering a more comfortable, precise fit than traditional systems.
Although it's not perfect, its growing popularity and continuous improvement make it an excellent choice for skiers looking for cutting-edge technology in their boots.
If you're ready to take the plunge, in 2025/2026 you'll find models with double BOAs to suit all needs and levels.
Dare to try them and enjoy them to the fullest!
