The BOA convenience

Nearly every single reviewer highlighted the BOA closure as one of the shoe's best-selling points. 

Unlike traditional laces, it comprises highly durable strings made of stainless steel and two regulating knobs. The beauty of this system is that you can adjust the fit on the go with just one hand. In addition, it allows for micro-adjustments (1 mm) and indeed stays tight throughout the entire session.

Golf shoe experts were especially excited about the knob placed on the heel, which is not very common to see on golf shoes. As one of them says, it "plays a huge part in enhancing the fit."

Having your foot locked in place like that also greatly contributes to the feeling of stable during the swing and when walking.

A bit fiddly to put on

The only downside of the shoe's upper pointed out by the reviewers is that it can be tricky to put on. As there is no separate tongue, the shoe's mouth can only open this much, even when the BOA is fully loosened.

Excellent traction

Excellent traction is provided by the combination of Pulsar LP cleats and nobs. One of the many satisfied golfers claims it to be "as stable a golf shoe as you're ever gonna find."
