These testers ranged from home builders, to welders, to ranch- ers, to cement masons, to landscapers.” Durability and a lifetime guarantee are only a few distinct features and benefits Boa offers to the utility market. Created in 1998 by Gary Hammerslag, the Boa Lac- ing System is as simple as it looks, consist- ing of a lace, a spool and a reel. Unlike tra- ditional shoelaces that cause uneven pressure due to friction when tied, the Boa Lacing System allows the lace to equalize pressure around the foot, creating a cus- tomized, glove-like-fit that never comes untied. With one quick turn of the Boa reel, the shoe or boot is tightened and firm- ly locked in place where it will stay. Easy- to-clean, Boa laces, guides and reels are designed to repel dirt and grime. New EX735 lace All utility boots with Boa – including the Traxx collection from Bata Industrials – feature the new EX735 lace, Boa’s most durable lace to date. The proprietary EX735 lace consists of 49 strands of air- craft grade stainless steel wire. This lace has been specifically designed by Boa to significantly increase both abrasion resis- tance and fatigue durability in the tough- est environments. Boa engineers have applied a unique method where the lace is not only coated with nylon, but also infused with nylon to increase both durability and tensile strength. “We have created a lace that far exceeds the durability of anything ever done,” says Boa Product Design Engineer Eric Irwin. “This lace was tested in the dirt- iest and grittiest environments we could find and it outlasted the boots it was fea- tured on every time.” With offices in Steamboat Springs, Denver, Colorado and Chiba, Japan, Boa Technolo- gy Inc., is the creator of the award-win- ning, patented Boa Lacing System. The rev- olutionary Boa® Lacing System, backed by the Dialed In For Life Guarantee, opti- mizes product design and enables a more “dialed in fit”. The ultimate result is supe- rior performance and a level of customiz- able comfort never before experienced in the footwear and medical industry.
