"For you older walkers used to shoe laces: those thiin monofilament things ARE the shoe laces!!! Do not snip those out and then go looking in the box for real shoelaces. Loosen them by pulling out the dial on the back of the shoe, slip on, then push the dial in and rotate clockwise to tighten.
Modern stuff.
Great shoes."

"Well I had bought these shoes in January of 2009 and by reading articles on this shoe they sounded great for snow and rain type weather. The shoe definitely lives up to its expectations but these shoes have the no-shoe laces and you tighten them up with a caliber in the back of the shoe. I had these shoes for 3 months and the synthetic laces broke on both of the shoes on the exact same day. I called NorthFace and they told me that this synthetic lace never breaks but the caliber in the back is usually what breaks down on the shoe. Not in my case - the synthetic laces are what broke. Luckily NorthFace replaced both shoes free of charge. Thank God for NorthFaces customer service which is top notch."

"Well let's see this is my 6th pair of North Face shoes with this system and as you can tell I'm a fan. I've never had any issue what so ever with this system in any type of use whether it be dead winter or deep summer this lacing system allows you to more or less dial the condition and sock being used into how tight the shoe /boot is laced. As for Gore-Tex I always try and buy products using GTX albeit rather expensive it always seems to do it's job. I really hope North Face continues to use this Boa system, the new models have had some improvements added with the eyelets and seem to bind maybe a little less as they are tightened than the models a couple years ago. I normally wear a size 13 but in all North Face shoes I always order a 14 as they seem to run a little small in my case. Keep them coming NF and don't get too crazy on your styling like so many of the shoe makers do these days some of us wear these products daily and don't need the addition of flare fad styling."
