They are the best fitting and most comfortable boots and shoes ever.  At least for me.  These shoes are also comfortable, and a pleasure to wear all day.  The Boa lacing system is a good idea, but the way it's constructed, it makes the shoes difficult to get on or off.  The tongue of the shoe is attached to the sides with very little expansion room.  So it remains tight even when the lacing system is fully loosened.  A shoehorn is an accessory to have handy for these shoes.  The laces are actually steel cables, and tighten as the dial is turned.  It's possible to dial in a perfect fit, and it remains where it's set.  Pull up on the dial, and the cable loosens immediately.  There is a hook on the side of the shoe where the cable hooks over, and the cable can be unhooked to loosen the shoe a little more, and that makes it easier to get on or off.  But then you have to hook the cable back up before tightening the cable.  That negates the easy tightening intent of the Boa system.
Time will tell if the shoe can hold up to the cable.  The cable is a small diameter, and may result in premature wear on the contact areas.  How long the cable will last is another unknown, and I don't know if the cable is user-replaceable.
Take a look at the video, and much will become apparent.
