Anyone know the difference between BOA and LACE boots?

Yea,

BOA's are like a super easy/fast method. All you have to do is tighten/untighten the wheel on them to loosen or tighten the cords on the boots.

Lace's, well, I shouldn't have to explain. It's like tieing shoes.

People say if you find a BOA boot that works well, take em. If you wanna make your shit SUPER snug and feel like there molded to your feet, get LACE.

Eh, I'm not sure. I'd always go with lace tho. I would worry about the BOA's freezing up or breaking. And as for bindings, don't ever get stomp-in's. They are gay and stupid. Real bindings <3.

Here is the "Boa skate" sold at Canadian tires..works like a winch in a way..the wire is out and when you turn the knob you see in the high part of the tounge it tightens the wire evenly through the skate..and to releace you just push that same wheel...

np..thought that it might help a little...did for me the first time I heard of this..I went to the actual store and looked at them and tried them out just to see how well they worked and nothing can beat them...you get a perfect fit and tightness through the entire boot... metal lace don't freeze, stick or losen like laces...got Boa if you want the best there is...tighten and forget...I bought a pair of the skates last year and skated for hours and they were as tight at the end as when i first put them on...
