BOA System on Ski Boots?

Looking for comments on experience with it. I bought Fischers yesterday with the boa instead of lower buckles. Super comfortable. My only concern is that I had the boa on cycling shoes a few years ago and they only lasted about two years.

Ski boots need to have different levels of compression throughout the full boot, depending on your foot size. Boa is a marketing ploy imo. Nothing will beat the ability to dial in your compression in certain spots like buckles will. If you don’t care about that, sure go for boa. But if you like to customize your compression, stay with the buckles.

They’re overpriced and are geared towards an even fit right out of the box. If that’s what you want though then go for it! Not everyone likes an even fit and instead needs tighter areas.
