Are you the type of golfer who ties and then reties your shoes several times throughout the course of a round? If you are picky about the fit and that little bit of snugness in your shoes, a BOA golf shoe could be a really good solution. Before you invest in BOA shoes, here are a few things to know and some of our favorite BOA shoes.
What is BOA on a golf shoe?
With BOA technology in place, it’s much easier to get your shoes on and adjust the fit while on the course.
Are BOA golf shoes good?
BOA golf shoes are good for players who continually adjust their shoelaces. In addition, if you have some speed in your swing and your movements tend to loosen your shoes throughout a round, BOA golf shoes are a good choice. BOA golf shoes combine comfort, performance and practicality.
BOA Golf Shoes To Try
If you are ready to make the leap into the BOA golf shoe technology, here are a few pairs to try and some of our results when we tested them.
adidas ZG23 BOA
With a wide fit and the micro-adjustable dial-based BOA Fit System, this shoe fits well on a wide range of players.
adidas charges a bit more for the BOA Fit System in the ZG23 BOA but it has been redesigned to ensure longevity and durability. The adidas ZG23 BOA has a one-year waterproof warranty. Golfers with wide feet who value comfort, durability and a high-quality BOA system will like this shoe.
adidas S2G BOA Spikeless
Expect a waterproof outer layer, comfortable sock liner, Bounce midsole and, of course, the dial-based BOA Fit System. This would be a good place to start if you are looking for BOA on a budget.
FootJoy Tour Alpha Dual
Fit Bed.
In addition to the impressive BOA technology, FootJoy incorporated their Optimized Performance Stabilizer for golfers who like to go after the ball a little. This is a premium shoe design with exceptional fit and enough comfort to make it worth the price.
adidas Codechaos 22 BOA
To make the adidas Codechaos 22 BOA even more user-friendly, it features BOOST Foam for additional comfort and a molded EVA sock liner. Performance from these shoes was quite good but the look may not work for every player.
ECCO Biom G5 BOA
Made with waterproof GORE-TEX technology, your feet are not getting wet in this shoe. In addition, the combination of Biom Natural Motion technology and the BOA makes the Biom 5 feel like a custom shoe.
adidas Solarmotion BOA
The Solarmotion BOA shoes are made with a combination of recycled materials, a popular move by shoe manufacturers in 2023.
ECCO Biom C4 BOA
We tested three ECCO shoes as part of our 2023 Best Spikeless Golf shoe test and the Biom C4 BOA ranked the highest. It was also the only ECCO BOA shoe we tested that may say something about how ideal fit and comfort play into choosing the perfect golf shoe.
Final Thoughts
The bottom line is that BOA costs a few dollars more but it makes custom fit and stability much more attainable. We are used to having to “dial in” those wedge shots but with BOA technology, you can literally dial in the fit of a golf shoe, too. The adidas ZG23 BOA is our overall highest-performing BOA shoe from the 2023 testing and one you should consider.
