I am concerned about the BOA system failing in the backcountry. Is there a way to fix a broken wire in the field, or is this something you have to send back to Vasque to repair? Could a lace be rigged in a pinch?

Steve is WRONG!!! If the cable breaks, under the flaps are lace loops large enough for any emergency laces you could think of, not rope, but cord or runners. Please do some homework before damning a fine product.

I totally understand your concern. There is a definite risk in this system breaking. The only real way to fix it is send them back to Vasque. The only bummer about these boots is the lacing system. There's no way to rig regular laces in these. Great boots, just iffy lacing.Hope that helps.
