Everything but the laces..

By jca2738330 Ranked #563 - Men's Hiking Shoes June 1, 2010

This was my second pair of NF shoes with the Boa lacing system. I may just have bad luck but the first set, one of the dials just plain busted (dial turned freely, couldn't tighten anymore) and the second set, the dial wouldn't release and had to pry my foot out of shoe. I gave these shoes a 4 star rating because the shoes really are awesome. They are highly water resistant, cool on your feet during hot/ long hikes, lacing was great (when it worked), great grip on all sorts of trails/ conditions, light weight, ect. I am returning the second pair and think I will just stick to good old laces going forward.
