Slip into something more comfortable with the BOA Fit System on the Solid Gear Tigris GTX AG Mid boots
We all know that building sites can be unforgiving environments. You can be braving the worst of the elements, on uncertain terrain, with multiple hazards to manoeuvre. That’s why anything that can make you a mite more comfortable will always be welcome, and the foundation of your physical well-being should always be your footwear. Boots that support your plates of meat in all the right places, keep them warm, dry and protected, will certainly give you a spring in your step.
Choosing boots or safety trainers equipped with the BOA fit system can equally make a telling contribution to happy feet. It’s a technology that has made the transition from the world of high-performance athletes, including elite cyclists and skiers, to tradespeople.
So just how does it work? Like all the best inventions it really is simplicity itself. Push the dial in, turn and you’ve got the perfect fit, when you want to take your boots off then pull the dial up for a quick release. It’s far more precise than a double knot can ever be, not to mention considerably faster, and you’re no longer at the mercy of lace ties that can become clogged with muck. You can even take them on and off with gloves on.
We let plasterer; Brian Jones step out in style in a pair of Solid Gear Tigris GTX AG Mid boots equipped with the BOA Fit System. This is high end footwear with myriad features. Whilst they look like they’re engineered for a war zone, these boots feel as light as ballet slippers. A rugged grip will keep you upright in the kind of conditions where Bambi came a cropper, whilst CORDURA and GORE-TEX provide durability and breathability respectively.
“It’s like giving your feet a warm hug,” enthuses the Herts-based spreader. “These boots have already got loads of cushioning, but the BOA Fit System makes sure that your heel and midsole are exactly where they should be, which really maximises the comfort level. There may well be times when you need to take your boots off if you’re in the client’s home and that’s much more easily done in these.”
If you’re thinking that this is an overengineered solution that on an inevitable path to failure then think again. The manufacturer promises that the BOA Fit System is designed to be opened and closed 5,500 times, which is the equivalent of taking your shoes on and off daily for 15 years.
“I don’t really want to take them off again,” purrs a very happy Brian. “Having said that, they’re so easy to get on and off that it won’t be a problem either.”
The BOA Fit System is simplicity itself.
1. Push in the dial to engage

3. Pull up for quick release
