To open your Burton Boa boots and loosen the laces for removal, you simply need to pop the Coiler™ knob out.
Burton Boa boots feature the innovative BOA® Fit System, designed for quick and easy adjustments. This system uses a simple knob, often called the Coiler™, usually located on the front or side of the boot. Instead of traditional laces, the system utilizes durable cables or ropes routed throughout the boot shell.
Steps to Open Your Burton Boa Boots
Opening your boots is a straightforward process once you understand the BOA® system:
- Locate the Coiler™ Knob: Find the round knob on the front or side of your Burton Boa boot.
- Pop it Out: Gently pull the Coiler™ knob directly away from the boot. You should hear a click as it releases.
- Loosen the Laces: Once the knob is popped out, the tension on the cables is released, allowing you to easily loosen the boot by simply pulling the tongue or the sides apart.
This mechanism is the opposite of how you tighten them. According to the BOA® system description, you twist to tighten the laces and pop the coiler out to loosen the laces.
Understanding the BOA® System on Burton Boots
The BOA® Fit System, including the Coiler™ dial used on many Burton boots, provides a convenient way to manage boot tightness.
- Tightening: You turn the Coiler™ knob clockwise to reel in the cable and tighten the fit around your foot.
- Loosening/Opening: You pop the Coiler™ out to release the tension and allow the cables to run freely, effectively "opening" the boot so you can slide your foot out comfortably.
This simple "pop and release" action is all that's required to transition from a secure, tightened boot to one loose enough to remove.
