Sicur 08: FAL presents lace-free boots

Sicur 08: The footwear company is showing its new BOA system at Sicur, which provides users with extraordinary comfort and great speed in adjusting their boots. FAL Calzados de Seguridad, a company that is specialised in the manufacturing of shoes and boots for professional use, is going to present its collection of protection shoes and boots that incorporate a novel lace-free closing system at the SICUR trade fair. Therefore, Fal Seguridad is continuing its effort to improve its models both in design and benefits, to offer the latest advances and technologies in equipment for all working sectors.

The BOA closing system is a technological advance that provides incredible speed when adjusting the boots during the working day, thanks to the lack of laces. With a simple gesture and just one hand, the users of these boots may adjust or undo the boots according to their requirements and in tenths of a second. BOA is a lacing system that is formed by a steel reel and track that adjust the boot to the user's foot morphology, which provides extraordinary comfort and speed due to the lack of laces. This adjustment control that BOA provides allows greater comfort at all times and all this with a single gesture, without the bother of having to tie and untie laces.

It provides a dramatic improvement over shoelaces for almost any kind of performance footwear or other products that require controlled closure. As the typical pressure points of a closure using laces are removed, the BOA system allows the footwear to fit like a glove, ensuring a unique experience of comfort. As opposed to laces, which hang down and may get caught up, the special steel laces from the BOA system are always kept inside the control reel. 

The models that will incorporate this system are characterised by the great comfort of their lasts, and also by the breaking strength that the steel wire of the closure provides. They also incorporate, as is normal, the high quality waterproof and fireproof leathers, the waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex lining and the latest generation soles, as well as anti-perforation insoles and non-metallic toe caps in some of their models. The new BOA system is a lacing system that has proved its reliability in other sectors. It provides extra comfort and speed to the FAL footwear. This system has been licensed by the American company Boa Technology and currently the company from La Rioja is the only one with the patent in safety footwear in Europe.
