How to Lace LYNX MID GTX BOA Camo Hunting Boots

Quick Answer

Adjust the micro-dial and laces on your LYNX MID GTX BOA Camo boots to get a secure, comfortable fit without any pressure points.

Steps to Lace Your LYNX MID GTX BOA Boots

1. Step 1: Open the dial and loosen the laces: Pull the BOA dial outward to release tension. Then pull the lace guide away from the boot tongue to fully loosen the laces so you can slip your foot in easily. Common mistake: not pulling the dial out fully, which leaves laces tight and makes entry difficult.
2. Step 2: Insert your foot and position the heel: Press your heel firmly into the boot's heel pocket. Ensure your toes have a little wiggle room at the front. Hold the boot in place while you prepare to tighten. Checkpoint: if your heel lifts when you walk, the laces are too loose or the boots are the wrong size.
3. Step 3: Tighten the lower lace zone first: Turn the BOA dial clockwise to tighten the laces from the bottom up. Stop when the boot feels snug across the instep but not painful. This secures the forefoot. Avoid over-tightening the lower zone, which can pinch the top of your foot and reduce circulation.
4. Step 4: Tighten the upper lace zone (ankle lock): Continue turning the dial to tighten the upper laces around your ankle. The BOA system lets you adjust tension independently of the lower zone. Aim for firm support without restricting ankle flex. Checkpoint: you should be able to slip one finger between the lace and your ankle; too tight can cause blisters.
5. Step 5: Lock the dial and perform a final check: Press the dial inward until it clicks securely. Walk a few steps and check for any heel slip or pressure points. If needed, pull the dial out to release all laces and repeat steps 3-4. Common mistake: forgetting to press the dial in fully so it releases accidentally during movement.
