What is Boa?

With over 8 million Boa-powered products worldwide, the award-winning, patented Boa Closure System is reinventing how shoes, medical braces, equipment, and nearly everything else performs.

Our proprietary closure system of steel Lace, nylon guides and a mechanical reel was designed to address the long list of deficiencies found in traditional closures. In the process, we improved upon the performance of every other closure system on the market—from laces to buckles, and ratchets to hook and loop systems.

The result? Get a perfect fit with the simple turn of a knob, free of the stretch, weight, and hassles of old-fashioned closures. Enjoy a significantly improved level of comfort along with durability, light weight, fast and convenient operation, and on-the-fly adjustment. The list of advantages goes on.

The system is available in three different power configurations to integrate into a wide variety of products—all designed to provide a truly “Dialed In” fit never before experienced.

How it Works

  • High Power Reels

    Boa now offers more options than ever before to suit the construction and performance demands of snowboard boots and other high power applications. Each configuration delivers clear performance advantages over traditional shoelaces and other speed lacing systems:

    • Glovelike, precise fit
    • Powerful, uniform closure & no pressure points
    • Micro and On-the-Fly Adjustability
    • Speed

    Finally, from a boot design standpoint, Boa delivers a far cleaner aesthetic than hanging closure straps or straggling shoelaces.

  • Mid Power Reels

    When a product's construction calls for powerful and robust closure -- yet not at the level provided by the High-Power systems -- the Boa Mid-Power platform is the optimal choice. Nimble and secure, Mid Power meets the performance demands of above-the-ankle work-boots, inline skates, and ski boot liners.

  • Low Power Reels

    Boa Low-Power systems address the unique demands of low-cut footwear, highly active endeavors, and lightweight materials. These systems are subsequently the top choice for athletic shoes, lightweight hikers, and casual footwear.

    Each reel features a direct drive power train to deliver effective 1:1 closure force with a wide array of mounting options available.
