Anyone know of a shoe with an alternative closure system other that BOA? Due to the rave reviews, I've been considering getting a pair of FJs with the BOA closure system for some time. Before moving forward, I wanted to know if any other companies have similar products on the market. I haven't been able to find any. Thanks.

Just picked up a pair of last years model of FJ. I had read a lot of reviews and needed shoes anyway, so was glad to find some closeouts for around $80. It felt a little strange the first time I tightened the knob, but there are no tight or loose spots, it just felt nice and snug. Almost like you foot is being shrink wrapped to the sole of the shoe. Went to the golf dome (live in Michigan, still cold and snow on the ground) and felt good to wear them. It will be nice after a long round to just pull the knob out and pull them off my feet. You will want to use a shoe horn, so you don't break down the back of the shoe. Carl's Golfland gave me one with the shoes.

I actually sell golf shoes and the only other way to tighten your laces is too....... tie them. I have a pair of the FJ's with the boa's (I have like 7 pairs of golf shoes) and the FJ's are my favorite. I would recommend buying a pair.

FJ BOA shoes are great I have a few pair of them.  It's a great system, just turn the dial to tighten and pull it out to release.   System  seems to be built well, though I've never tried to over tighten my shoes to see if it would break.

I usually wear my BOA's when the forecast calls for rain or the course is muddy so I don't have to worry about dirty shoelaces.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
