I bought these shoes a year ago...close to 250 bucks with tax..

after about 10 rounds...the boa system stopped working, would tighten but wouldn't loosen unless I used my superhuman strength to pry the foot opening open...but this got to be a pain after every round...and this week both cables snapped during one of these pry open attempts...so, all told even though the technology is cool, it stopped working after fewer than a dozen rounds. granted, my situation could be an anomaly but in the future I think I'm opting for low tech laces...when they malfunction they can be easily fixed by someone, who doesn't have an engineering degree.

Just bought a pair. They are very comfortable and I don't have to worry about laces. Good technology and for me they are stylish. From Texas and the "spur" is very handy for taking the shoes on and off. Only time will tell how the golfing public takes to this boa method.

I have running shoes with the Boa lacing system. The shoes are made by North Face. Best shoes in the world, hands down. They are designed for long distance runs -- no pressure points...

As someone that has personally tried them on already, these shoes are awesome. The customized fit using the BOA lacing system is second to none. The disk on the back is not obtrusive and doesn't look strange. Hey, a lot of people wear sandals to play golf!

I am REALY looking forward to seeing and trying this new shoe. After loosing the use of my right arm in 1992 I have had to ask both friends and strangers to help me out by tying my shoes. I am hoping this BOA lacing system will free me to once again get my golf shoes 'just the way I like them' and let me feel like any other golfer who has the simple ability to tie their own shoes! Footjoy has always been my shoe and I am not suprised that they have HOPEFULLY come through for me.

They look good, let's hope there as comfortable as they say they are.

I Like the technology, but like Jack I'm not sure if I like the look. Looks like you're walking around with spurs on. Comfort is important to say the least but there are a lot of comfortable shoes on the market that don't look like they have a growth on them.

I think these look slick. Tradition meets The Matrix or something. I can't wait to give the shoes a try. The lack of laces - and no velcro in sight - could be a godsend.
