Improving fit and performance of footwear has always been BOA®’s primary focus. For more than 20 years, BOA® technology has been at the forefront of innovation, continually developing and enhancing the BOA® Fit System to redefine precision fit and elevate performance.
Trusted by elite athletes worldwide, BOA® has proven its durability and reliability in the most demanding conditions. And since 2008, this same game-changing technology has supported the construction and related sectors with BOA®-equipped workwear shoes.
The BOA® Fit System is a patented, award-winning innovation integrated on market-leading brand partner products to elevate their performance. It comprises three integral parts: a micro-adjustable dial; super-strong lightweight laces; and low-friction lace guides.
The system ensures a secure fit that’s easy to adjust on the go – ideal for workers in demanding environments. With a twist of the dial, they can achieve a micro-adjustable, precision fit that locks the heel in place, providing enhanced stability, reducing foot movement and improving balance and control.
Durability built in
Durability is built into every aspect of the BOA® Fit System. Laces are engineered to withstand loads up to 10 times higher than is required for a secure fit, while the dials can be opened and closed 5,500 times without losing functionality – equivalent to taking your shoes on and off daily for over 15 years.
Whether it’s being pounded, frozen, or submerged, the system is tested to withstand the harshest conditions and is backed by a lifetime guarantee. On the rare occasion that a dial breaks, a free replacement can be claimed through the BOA® website.
BOA®’s commitment to innovation doesn’t stop at durability. At the BOA® Performance Fit Lab in Denver, a team of designers, prototypers, engineers, and biomechanics experts conduct rigorous testing and independent scientific studies to enhance fit and performance. These insights drive the development of groundbreaking innovations such as the BOA® PerformFit™ Wrap, which reimagines the traditional upper shoe construction to deliver heightened benefits to athletes and workers.
Versatile and adaptable
The BOA® PerformFit™ Wrap utilises an innovative upper design that wraps around the midfoot, delivering superior heel lock and a stronger connection to the midsole for greater stability, all while maintaining forefoot flexibility. Extensive pilot tests in safety footwear have validated the system’s versatility and adaptability across industries.
Workers testing the BOA® PerformFit™ Wrap experienced up to a 3% improvement in stability, with enhanced heel hold and midsole connection, delivering a uniform fit without pressure points. Ankle stability also improved by up to 7%, leading to greater consistency and control. In addition, BOA® enhances energy efficiency and endurance, bringing a 1.5% speed improvement with the same effort and up to 9% more efficient direction changes.
BOA®’s dedication to performance and durability makes it a trusted partner for workers across many industries. By combining cutting-edge technology with rigorous testing and user feedback, BOA® continues to set new standards in safety footwear.
BOA® can be found on a wide selection of safety footwear models, including Jalas TIO 2058, Rock Fall Honeystone RF610 and Sievi Cobra GT Roller+ S3.
