so far i have been very happy with these boots. the toebox is a bit soft, so don't kick it into a rock wall too many times. ultra comfy, and a superior fit for my foot.
i also was concerned about the boa system breaking, if you lift the flaps on the sides you will discover pre sewn lace loops underneath them. so, you could take one of your dyneema slings and lace them up if it did break.
the only regret i have from buying these boots is all the irritating junk mail i now get from backcountry.com long after the thrill of my new boots has worn off, i'll still be getting bs from bc.com
