The on-the-fly Boa® lacing system is an adjustable reel on the back of the shoe that controls ultra-thin strands of strategically placed, airplane-grade steel wires.
A quick twist of the reel tightens the tiny strands and provides a unique fit that is unattainable in other comfort footwear. A simple pull on the reel releases the laces. It's the only therapeutic footwear offering the Boa® technology.

This is my second pair, so I could have black and brown shoes.Finally, my feet are comfortable all day at work and I do not feel crippled in the morning.The system is easy to use and I make minor adjustments throughout the day.

The Drew Austin has a lot going for it - dressy enough to wear to the office and sporty enough to wear anywhere outside. Very comfortable as well so overall very good value. The shoe tightening mechanism is very good, the only question being being its durability. If laces break they can be easily replaced. If the tie wires on this shoe break repairs will be a major challenge.
Wears this shoe: To the office, sporting events - very versatile

Finally found a shoe that felt great all day. Just took a little time to get used to the BOA system. Felt best when loosened just a bit. Infinite variable make this adjustment a snap. Ordered another pair in white for summer wear!
