Click. Twist. Tighten. The Boa System was founded 16 years ago with the simple idea of creating a better way for snowboard boots to be laced. The brand has revolutionized how we tighten boots, shoes, helmets, as well as horse shoes.
The Boa System is well-known to most outdoor athletes. You will find the twist-to-tighten closings on hiking boots and snowboard boots. There’s more to the brand that one product.
Tip for Buying
Boa System laces and dials are guaranteed for the life of the product they are attached to. Boa will send a kit to repair any “lace” that is broken.
Fun Fact
Gary Hammerslag, founder of Boa Technology, had one idea: replace traditional shoelaces with snowboard boots with a more efficient and convenient way to lace up.
The Boa System was first introduced to the public in 2001 with K2 and Vans as its partners. Boa Technology has been able to connect with over 330 brands in a variety of industries and produced more than 83,000,000 Boa dials.
The Boa System is used in the top products
