Proper Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance of your BOA reel boots are important to ensure they last a long time and remain working properly. Here are some recommended care and maintenance tips for BOA reel boots:
Clean Your Boots Regularly
Regularly clean your boots to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Use a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove any accumulated dirt or dust, and let your boots air dry.
Store Your Boots in a Dry Place
Always store your BOA reel boots in a dry place, away from sunlight or other sources of heat that can damage the materials.
Protect Your Boots
Consider using an additional waterproofing spray or wax to protect your boots from moisture and other elements that can cause damage.
Lubricate the BOA Reels
Regularly lubricate the BOA reels with a silicone-based lubricant to keep them working smoothly. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, which can attract dirt and debris.
Check for Any Damage
Regularly check your BOA reel boots for any signs of damage, such as frayed laces or a broken dial. If you notice any damage, have it repaired immediately.

However, the good news is that BOA offers a lifetime warranty on their lacing system parts not stitched to the boots.
