About This Video

In this video I dig into a question I’ve been hearing more and more in resort queues and boot rooms: what exactly are ‘Dual BOA’ ski boots? I bring in equipment expert Al Morgan to explain, in plain English, how the dual BOA system works on modern ski boots—what the dials are doing, what parts of the shell they’re tensioning, and why it’s different from the older single-dial setups and traditional buckles. The key takeaway is that Dual BOA is all about more precise, micro-adjustable fit—typically letting you fine-tune different zones of the boot independently, rather than cranking everything down with a couple of buckles and hoping for the best. We talk through what that means in real-world terms: easier on/off, quick adjustments mid-day, and a more even wrap across the foot. If you’re boot-curious but not sure whether BOA is a gimmick or a genuine step forward, this is a straightforward primer to help you understand what you’re looking at when you see two dials on a ski boot.
