Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 741 reviews.

I spent a lot of time looking for this exact model, and I'm incredibly happy I found it here. At the sale price, it was easily the best quality-to-price ratio online. A lot of other places were completely sold out, so the fact that it was actually in stock was a huge win. The standout feature for me is definitely the Boa dial system. If you’ve never used a laceless system before, it is an absolute game-changer. It distributes pressure evenly across your foot so there are no tight spots, and you can micro-adjust the fit in two seconds flat. No more messing around with loose laces mid-session. Overall, the build quality feels premium and it performs exactly as advertised. If you're on the fence about this model or the Boa system, go for it, you won't regret it.

Bought one the same over 20 yrs ago, it is that faded, and torn it was falling apart but my husband would not give it up. So I bought a new one, the old one is now in the bin.
