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. This warranty ensures that you can obtain the necessary replacement parts at no additional cost, allowing you to keep your trusted boots and continue your snowmobiling adventures without interruption.
