I kept all of this advice in my head as I avoided buying boas this weekend.
I was looking for a new set of shoes and the salesman brought out 4 pair, 2 had boa lacing systems. I said that I didn't even want to consider boas. I expressed my concern about the cord breaking or slipping off. He was like, "Naw...that never happens." Yeah, whatever
