Wearing It Well

All Dialed In

Shoelaces are so last year. The biggest innovation in performance footwear is the lacing system created by Denver-based Boa Technology. Originally used in snowboard boots, the system makes sense for golf as well. It works like this: you slip your foot into the shoe and turn a dial (on the tongue or heel) to adjust the strong, lightweight wire laces and get a secure, comfortable closure. When it’s time to take them off, you simply pull up on the dial for a quick release. The only drawback is that you’ll pay more than for shoes with standard lacing. Models from Adidas Golf, Ecco, FootJoy and Nike range from $155 to $230. boatechnology.com
